The Back Bay's swankiest seafood emporium provides fresh fish and a blow to its diners' expense accounts.

The Scene
Thanks to an extensive $3 million renovation, Turner Fisheries has an environment worthy of the aged scotch and $30 dishes favored by the upstairs Copley Westin's guests. Many diners come straight from the nearby Hynes Convention Center (or their beds) to slink into designer banquettes, some of which have views of Copley Square. When the Dow's had a particularly good day, broker types stop by the gorgeous lounge to down designer martinis or selections from the pricey, varied wine list.

The Food
Despite all the glitz, Turner's focus remains on super-fresh seafood, most of which arrives daily from all corners of the globe. If available, try the monkfish, served osso buco-style--on the bone and in a smoky broth. Other can't-miss items include award-winning clam chowder and flights of rare oysters. Liquor-spiked Jell-O shots and gourmet s'mores are just two of the whimsical, delectable desserts available.

Opentable Reservations
