The Fort Point neighborhood’s urban cityscape, with its blend of historic brick buildings and sleek design statements, is the perfect setting for Menton, Chef Barbara Lynch's modern interpretation of fine dining.
With beautifully executed cuisine, an unparalleled wine program, warm hospitality, and a glamorous setting, Menton seeks to excite, inspire, and transport guests. Pristine ingredients and refined technique are the basis for the seasonally inspired menus for lunch and dinner. A six-seat bar, with additional seating for ten at tables along a banquette, features expertly crafted cocktails and an approachable menu of comforting classics. Executive Wine Director Cat Silirie’s carefully curated wine list highlights small grower champagnes and rare vintages from lesser-known vineyards.
Since opening in 2010, the restaurant has received numerous accolades, including a 4 star review from The Boston Globe, the recognition as one of Bon Appétit and Esquire magazines' best new restaurants in 2010, and a James Beard Foundation Award nomination in 2011 for Best New Restaurant. Menton received the Best Newcomer, Best French, and Best Service distinctions in the Zagat Boston Restaurant Guide 2011-2012 and is Boston’s only Relais & Châteaux and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star property. Chef Barbara Lynch is currently the only female in the United States to hold the distinguished title of Grand Chef Relais & Châteaux.
In addition to the dining room and bar, Menton boasts two private event spaces perfect for gathering with colleagues, friends, or family. The elegant Private Dining Room overlooking Congress Street seats up to 45, while the Chef’s Table, a room with panoramic views of the kitchen, seats up to 14.
Friends and I want to reserve a private room in an upscale eatery. I’ve already queried Bancroft, Del Frisco’s, Capitol Grille, Morton’s, and Ruths Chris.
Other ideas, please?
Restaurant Suggestions? - Looking for a very nice restaurant for my wife's birthday Hi Boston! I used to be young and hip and know all the cool restaurants and hot chefs but I've been a boring old dad in the suburbs for a while now. Can anyone suggest a nice restaurant for my wife's upcoming 40th birthday? Something nice but not any of the old standards. We went to all of those back when we were young. What are some new, trendy, nice restaurants?

[Grotto](http://grottorestaurant.com/) on Beacon Hill or [Menton](http://mentonboston.com/) in Fort Point are both very nice.
Hi all, I'd like to take my parents out to a nice French restaurant for their 50th anniversary. Can anyone recommend a place? Thank you so much
If you are looking for a premiere "special occasion" spot, then Menton. Verrrry nice - especially if you are in the will or need to secure your standing. Just stick to the words on the menu and don't look at anything that might be a number. http://mentonboston.com/ 354 Congress Street
