Last night of RW and we made it to Chestnut. We’ve gone there several times before, spanning the old and the new(er) chef and have always liked it more than any other place on Smith St (Saul and Grocery included). Made a...

I agree. Chez Henri would be a great option. The Ashmont Grill in Dorchester might be another good one, though it’s a bit more lively and quirky than 75 Chestnut.

I have some customers I will be taking to an early holiday dinner in Chestnut Hill during the weekday next week. I am looking for a nice restaurant where we can all sit down, talk and have some good food. There will be about 10...

Saw a Chinese lunch truck on 18th btwn Market and Chestnut referenced in an earlier post by Steve. Went looking for it the other day. Lots of fruit and the requisite Philly-American grill on that block. No Chinese. I probably...

, though I haven’t been since it got a new chef. Bernard’s in the Mall at Chestnut Hill might serve if you want upscale American Chinese. Lineage in Coolidge Corner might do, especially if you’re looking for...
