 This Rice Village bistro famously doesn't take reservations: It doesn't need to, as it fills up fast every night by 6:30 p.m. and always has a wait for dinner. Lunch is an easier time to get a table, but dinner is the best meal here: Linger over the award-winning, Bordeaux-heavy wine list at the... More >> |

 Benjy Levit has been serving some of the most creative modern American cuisine in the city since 1985. The place is remarkably small, all the more so because of the open kitchen and bar that anchor one end of the restaurant, but that?s a part of its charm. The kitchen never seems to fail, and...
