This Beacon Hill hotspot serves excellent food in a cozy, elegant atmosphere.

The Scene
This charming restaurant and bar in a converted townhouse has become one of the premier dining destinations in its neighborhood. A romantic, clubby atmosphere enhances the award-winning cuisine. The well-stocked bar sports a TV and looks out onto the dining room. Waiters are wonderfully attentive without detracting from the dining experience. Wine-lovers enjoy a diverse, international wine list.

The Food
Best described as having an upscale American, bistro-style menu, 75 Chestnut succeeds in every aspect--presentation, freshness and flavor. Standout starters include the hearty crab cakes, which are drizzled with a delicious roasted red pepper coulis and served with cucumber and scallion salad.Try the grilled salmon, served with safron couscous, garden vegetables and a lime reduction. Pan-seared sesame crusted ahi tuna and grilled house-aged black angus sirloin are excellent entree choices. Desserts, including a sinful chocolate bread pudding, are equally stellar.
