"La Padrona wants to catch your attention. Grab a drink at the ground-floor bar, then wind your way up a grand staircase that leads to the restaurant’s glamorous main dining room, a moody, dark-wood affair that unfolds around a sparkling, centerpiece bar. Award-winning chef Jody Adams, Eric Papachristos, and Jon Mendez — the A Street Hospitality partners behind Boston restaurants Trade and Porto, as well as the fast-casual Greek shop Saloniki — imagined La Padrona, which just opened inside the luxury Raffles Boston hotel, as a jaw-dropping restaurant. It delivers." - Erika Adams
