Radius

Friendly service, pretty innovative food, but I think the restaurant is too big and a bit over hyped. I think the chef should focus perhaps more on the taste over some of the hype.

Radius is my second favorite restaurant in Boston. It had a chic decor and a trendy ambiance. The food was excellent and the martinis from the bar were some of the best I have ever tried. The wait staff was impeccable. During the dinner, we were waited upon by at least nine different waiters who were all polite and professional. My only disappointment was that the recommended wine pairings did not live up to my expectations. The wine selection had a rather homogenous range of flavors for the variety of flavors presented in the dinner courses. Radius is one of the most expensive restaurants in Boston. From my experience, the cost to wine and dine for two people was about $400 including tax and gratuity. However, it is definitely possible to spend half that amount depending on how many courses you order and what wines you drink.

One of the best in Boston, and one of the few that deserves its reputation. Kudos to Michael Schlow for quality dishes and great drinks. Pricey though.
