The Restaurant at 1900

"Open for: Lunch and dinner Price range: $$$$ “Upscale but playful” is the vibe in this light-filled modern restaurant with quirky decor and a wide-ranging menu. Chef and New England native Linda Duerr makes a predictably good cold-water lobster roll, but prioritize her fresh pastas, which are structured around seasonal produce and foraged herbs. Lively cocktails and colorful desserts contribute to the fun, unstuffy feel.  Must-try dish: Save room for dessert. The sweets menu is extensive and irresistibly fun, with options like baked Alaska with chestnut-honey meringue." - Liz Cook
