Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Chestnut Hill

We shared the avocado toast, the brown rice salad - both excellent and one of us had the manhattan clam chowder. The last was good but lukewarm to the table - detracted from its taste on a cold day.

We were seated in the Fireplace Room as requested in our reservation. Waiter was very professional and knowledgeable about the menu. The food continues to be well prepared. During the winter you do need to dress warmly.

It just keeps getting better! The Bastilla appetizer is a huge and gorgeous round of filo dough filled with a chicken/egg/almond mix spiced pefectly with cinnamon & turmeric. It comes on a bed of Israeli (large pearl) couscous with dried fruit and harissa, and it could have been my main course if I hadn't also been craving the cassoulet. My wife had the roasted beets first (outstanding!). Her main course (halibut) was "the best piece of fish I've ever had" - meaty but light and moist, and quite generous. Equal attention to guests and details are routine for the staff, so it was just another perfect Saturday night out.

This was a wonderful surprise find on a busy Saturday night! The menu is full of interesting items (we shared the spinach artichoke drip - so yummy!)the restaurant was decorated and festive for the holidays and our server was wonderful. We will definitely be back!

Always good food and drink. We go about once every two weeks and enjoy our meals.
