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.

West Branch
Ouest, the destination dining room from chef-owner Tom Valenti, is the place that sparked the latest neighborhood revival. Another, newer Valenti outpost in the ’hood is West Branch, a slightly more casual (there’s a bar with a flat-screen TV) but no less handsome spot, where the focus is still French – witness the steak tartare and duck-leg confit – with some more accessible (and wholly delicious) burgers, salads and fish and chips tossed in there, too.

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.

Ross' Grill
A much beloved hideaway tucked above Whalers Wharf, this casual bar and grill has spectacular views of the harbor, an impressive wine list and impeccable, traditional steaks and seafood. Regulars rave about the French onion soup, which could be a meal in and of itself. Large portions make dessert a challenge but try to save room for banana-bread pudding.
