I don’t know if it is special enough but my current favorite spot is SRV, with their Arsenale tasting menu. Their back patio really does feel Venice-like and their interior is pretty and comfortable. I have always experienced amazing service there. I find the food consistently wonderful.
I was tickled to learn recently that my friend’s son who is a chef (Menton in the past, Wood’s Hill Table in Concord now) says it is one of his two favorite restaurants in the city (Bar Mezzana being the other).
