Craigie on Main

Renowned chef Tony Maws' reputation isn't the only thing blowing up. Demand for more space from fans of his inspired French bistro exploded recently as well, enabling a move to a bigger space in Central Square. Scuffed-up hard wood floors, an open kitchen with an enormous staff worrying over the details, and a proper bar area give this long time favorite its new, rustic pantry feel. Bartender Tom Schlesinger-Guidelli continues Boston's classic cocktail revival with a steely, professorial grip tempered by chummy, neighborhood hospitality.
