“Dressed-up dim sum” “like mother never made” and other “bursting-with-flavor” “takes on tradition” have fans “dreaming about” this Asian-fusion small-plates specialist in the South End helmed by culinary couple Joanne Chang and Christopher Myers; “killer cocktails”, a “hip” staff and a “quirky”, “indie” setting contribute to the “youthful” vibe, but it’s “hard to get a table”, so “reservations are a must (and rightly so).” ZAGAT REVIEW 11:30 to 10:00 p.m. service.

Popular food and bar scene. 14 minute walk from the condo. "Situated near the spot where public hangings were performed in colonial times, the Gallows plays up its macabre location with an ominous black crow sign above the door. But inside, the bar has an unassuming vibe and an inventive cocktail list that highlights original concoctions, including liquor infusions, and disappearing old-timey ingredients such as mead and whey. The sangria ironically employs cheap and fruity Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill, while the dinner menu offers an extensive list of boards, burgers and poutine options for top-notch gourmet bar bites."

Iconic breakfast/brunch place. "Breakfast: Mike's is open for business for both breakfast and lunch, and it does both equally well. The early-morning pancakes are lighter than air, and the eggs and grits are perfect comfort food for whatever ails you. Turkey and mashed potatoes are served in extra large portions to eager lunchers looking for their fix of eats just like mama used to make. The black and white checkered tablecloths and red bar make for a homey environment, and the waitresses really know their stuff because they've been serving up food like this for years.When you want to eat at diner in Boston, Mike's is the place to go."

A comfortable Bronx-style haunt for vino and red sauce-covered Italian-American classics. http://www.lamottaboston.com/ Check their website for hours. "From the the team behind Gaslight and Cinquecento, this “beautifully decorated” South End spot serves “all your favorite Italian comfort food” (from classic meatballs to “decadent” desserts) “brought to life with fresh ingredients” and complemented by Italian wines; repurposed church panels and vintage photos adorn the “warm, inviting” space, where details like a tin-ceiling “from a bygone era” and a “lovely” patio add “date-night” appeal."

Drinks & Nightlife

Good, reasonably priced Italian menu. Busy bar scene!! The South End's version of "Cheers", where everyone knows your name...and business : ) Located next to Giacomo's. Have a drink at Anchovies while you wait for a table or a bar seat (only six of them facing the kitchen) at Giacomo's. For shorter or no wait, get there when they open or earlier than 5 p.m.
