"There’s a new spot to check out during your next stroll down Newbury Street: Le Mari, an elegant little bistro from chef and owner Leigh Whittaker. Step inside (or onto the patio) for Mediterranean-leaning small plates like scallop or tuna crudo, sea bass with tzatziki, fennel, Granny Smith apples, and sumac, or a quintessential plate of steak frites. This is Whittaker’s debut restaurant; previously, she worked at Italian powerhouse Fox & the Knife." - Erika Adams, Nathan Tavares
