Erbaluce
Elaborate cuisine that's simply delicious
If they start rotisserie leagues for restaurants, I'm never going to draft a chef in the first round. I just can't follow them all, what with their constant job changes and stints working for other chefs — for a week, for a year, taking out the garbage, who knows?

The Green Tomato 2
A Somerville cafeteria escapes the horror of Lunch Lady Land
Cafeterias — the kind of restaurant where you push a tray along a line and get served by counter help instead of having food brought to your table by a waiter — don’t have the greatest associations.

BOKX 109

Scales and Shells
A big emphasis on seafood (surprise!)
Since the open kitchen at Scales and Shells is behind the hostess station, you are pulled into the restaurant by the aroma of wood smoke and garlic as you open the door.

Stone Bridge
Tzatziki and red sauce

Shabu Shabu Toki

Privius Lounge
Sashimi for the dancing set
I thought I had Privus figured out based on what owner Jarlath Quinn had done with his popular bar, The Kells, located right next door.

Benatti
Off the charts, off the map
Even a slice of zucchini makes you want more . . . zucchini. You are perhaps vegan? Order two of these and sneer at the carnivores of the world.
