A
Marliave
A French immigrant, Henry Marliave first opened this restaurant way back in 1885. After a recent rehab, the Marliave has reopened with all of its vintage architectural quirks still intact, from the mosaic floor to the tin ceilings. The black-and-white photos on the wall add to the old-Boston ambience, as do the cleverly named drinks (Molasses Flood, anyone?). Note that the downstairs area feels more historically authentic, but the glass-enclosed upstairs has a unique view of the surrounding neighborhood.

Eastern Standard
Whether you choose to sit in the sophisticated, brassy interior or on the heated patio (open year-round), you’re sure to enjoy the upscale atmosphere at this Kenmore Sq favorite. French bistro fare, with a hint of New American panache, caters to a pregame crowd that prefers wine and cheese to peanuts and crackerjacks. Great people-watching on game nights.

Hamersley’s Bistro
Consistently at the top of every ‘best restaurants’ list, Hamersley’s serves perfectly prepared French and country American cuisine. The seasonal menu is diverse, but the house specialty is a simple, delicious roast chicken with garlic, parsley and lemon ($25). The ambiance is warm and inviting, now featuring lovely terrace seating.
