Stylish hotel restaurant serves creative fare (andouille sausage corn dogs, homemade "potato stix") on one of city's largest riverfront patios. - Eric Grossman
Dante de Magistris, formerly of the The Sports Club/LA's blu, opened his first restaurant in the Royal Sonesta (in the former Cambridge Davio's), serving all three meals with flair. More than 200 seats are spread throughout eight different seating areas, including two lounges and a large outdoor patio that sports views of the Charles and Boston's skyline. Dante's lengthy menu consists of creative, Mediterranean-tinged dishes like escargot with truffle whipped potato spuma and andouille sausage corn dogs.
