P2 and I are staying with family who uses a walker, likes to eat at places like Deuxave and Harvest, and strongly prefers restaurants with very attentive service (and have very dry Hendricks martinis).
Any recs? TIA!

Since you mention Harvest, I assume you know that it is accessible. In the Charles Hotel both Bar Enza and Henrietta are reachable by a hotel elevator. Can’t speak to the martinis at either place. Tallula is also accessible, although the bathrooms may be downstairs.

Re Henrietta & Bar Enza, TFTR!
Any cuisine preferences?

She tends to like french, Italian, (new) American. East and Southeast Asian, not so much.
Mida in the South End is all on one ground level, including the bathrooms. So are Gufo and Grand Gusto in Cambridge. La Royal is accessible as a restaurant, but I’ve not peed there so cannot speak to the restroom location.

Oh man, I wouldn’t have even thought about bathrooms, and realize that I don’t really remember whether that might be an issue when I get asked this question! Good reminder.
Maybe Puritan & Co? We’ve been very impressed with their service. I can’t swear on the accessibility but I’m pretty sure it’s all one floor and more spacious than some.

Great suggestion! I am always very impressed by food and service when I go there. There is usually a small menu of daily specials in addition to the usual menu and it tends to be vegetable-forward.

While I’m delighted to welcome you back to civilization, tell us what you ate in the wilderness of NY, will you? Two wooden spoons of egg yolk? Was that your manna?

Patience, young grasshopper. The write up is lengthy.
And those are the El Bulli liquid olives.

You went back in time to Spain?
Now that’s going above and beyond, and well worth waiting
a) for an account of?
b) for an account of which you speak?

They serve the spherified liquid olives at Mar / Mercado Little Spain and at Bazaar, but the wooden table setting is Mar.

I haven’t been but I want to go to Pammy’s, which seems like a celebratory kind of place.
I personally welcome some mystery in life.
I have and I liked it and the bathrooms when I went were on the same level. Trifecta!
Pammy’s is wonderful! The only downside is the current prix fixe format may not be to everyone’s liking.
Yes, we are older and can’t eat that amount of food. I understand you can walk in to the bar and get a la carte dishes, however.
