L'Espalier

Editorial Review

New England-French cuisine from James Beard Award winning chef Frank McClelland bowls over the competition. Widely regarded as the crème de la crème of fine dining in Boston. Chef’s tasting menus do most of the thinking for you. Rich browns and tans, modern décor, and carpeted floor sort of like high end dining room carved out of hotel function hall. Library room is a treat though.  Impeccable service. Impeccable everything, really. Make sure you’ve got funds on the card before going.
