Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
Classic dishes are cleverly updated at this classy and very popular Congress Street spot housed in a former 19th-century firehouse with exposed brick and copper accents. The menu changes seasonally to reflect ingredients available from local waters, organic farms, and food purveyors, but the mac 'n' cheese, which boasts artisanal cheeses and shaved black truffles, is a mainstay, as is the signature tasting menu, which starts at $70 and changes frequently.
