Description:
BACK BAY. Located as it is in Copley Place, Osushi certainly doesn't want for lack of business. Of course, the convenience factor only partially explains this place's appeal. Hip and very sexy, the black and red minimalist space draws a cool mix of business types, international travelers and Back Bay hipsters. Sushi and sashimi are masterfully prepared using only the freshest available ingredients, and each dish is evocatively presented. The sake selection, unsurprisingly, draws vast approval from those who fancy themselves rice wine connoisseurs, and more adventurous palates should consider taking the plunge in one of the bar signature saketinis. |

BACK BAY. Thai Basil prides itself on healthy entrees that don't include corn oil or MSG. To start, try seafood noodle soup or a Thai salad. Other menu notables include obligatory spring rolls and tangy garlic shrimp. The interior of this Newbury Street Thai eatery, which sits below street level, is relatively basic. Reasonable prices are sure to make you smile, though. |

Description:
BACK BAY. What truly sets Sel de la Terre apart is its knack for outstanding Provencal brunch faves like poached eggs with baked cornbread, forest mushroom quiche, skillet-roasted bass, and steak frites with red wine-shallot sauce. Needless to say, the setting, relaxed and unpretentious, is perfectly conducive to a Sunday afternoon sip of Westport Rivers Rosé, the house wine. |

Atlantic Fish |

Description:
BACK BAY. A beloved part of the Boston scene since the late 1970s, Atlantic Fish sports an updated atmosphere these days – in other words, the original's galley look was traded in for a more polished scene of stained wood, pendant lights, coffered ceiling and crisp white linens. The menu, though hasn't changed all that much over the years (Hey, why mess with a good thing!), and Atlantic's kitchen continues to serve up timeless raw bar classics like shrimp cocktail, iced Littleneck clams and Blue Point oysters. Patio dining is available. |
