Radius Bar & Restaurant Review

RADIUS

Notables:
* Formal	* Excellent Service	* Excellent Food & Wine
* Pricey	* Valet	* After-Work Hot Spot

My Opinions: This is one of my choice bars to enjoy an after work drink at! During the week, from 5-7pm, you'd think it was Saturday night - the places fills as quickly as it empties though, so plan to get there around 5 for optimal mingling.

I was able to snag a lounge table and enjoy some great dishes ... the burger is amazing (with multiple food awards to backup my opinion), but the oysters on the half shell and cheeses were not my favorite. I was pleased that the service in the lounge was just as good as in their dining room. And, I enjoyed their mixed drinks tonight (strong & fresh ingredients) just as much as I enjoy their impressive wine/bubblies list.

Radius remains to be a Boston-Classic in the Financial District, and one of my favorite restaurants around. The service is impeccable complimented by excellent food quality and elegant flavors. An added plus is the sexy rotund room layout, simple/clean decor, and private room option downstairs.

I'm a big fan of Via Matta and Altastrada (MGM Grand location) as well, members of Michael Schlow's restaurants, so try them all!

Radius Bar & Restaurant Review

Radius

My Opinions: I enjoyed another great dinner here tonight, along with a savory bottle of red wine picked from their extensive list, despite Restaurant Week going on. (I am not a fan of this bargain hunt gluttony that takes table reservations from loyal patrons, and has some restaurants changing their menu to items they typically don't have and won't have again. I think most places should reserve a certain quantity of their tables for Restaurant Weekers and leave the rest for their Regulars.)  Not to sound like a complete grump, I was happy to see the bar area bustling and the dining room full ... even if the crowd was a bit different.

Radius remains to be a Boston-Classic in the Financial District, and one of my favorite restaurants to dine at. The service is impeccable complimented by excellent food quality and elegant flavors. I like the sexy rotund room layout and simple/clean decor, too.

My Opinions: A Boston-Classic in the Financial District, and one of my favorite restaurants to dine at - Service is impeccable with Food Quality and Flavors to match - I like the sexy room layout and simple/clean decor - Bar scene is very nice, even for the single diner/drinker, and it boasts a nice after-work crowd. Try the seating by the large windows to get a view of passerby's - I'm a big fan of Via Matta as well, a member of Michael Schlow's group of restaurants.
