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. Looking for old-fashioned American eats? Head to Firefly, with its assortment of tables and chairs and a menu of comfort dishes like meatloaf, beef tenderloin, roasted duck, and burgers. Firefly's signature item, thin-crust pizza, can be ordered with a variety of toppings. Desserts, however, are the real kickers – huge and oh-so-tempting. In fact, the brownie sundae leaves few opponents in its wake, except maybe the peanut-butter tart. Outdoor patio dining is perfect during warm weather. |
