"Coquette is the closest thing you’ll find to coastal France in mid-winter Boston by a landslide. The pink- and purple-hued walls and ceilings of this spacious hotel restaurant in the Seaport district, painted with Renaissance-esque skies and art-deco-inspired flowers, provide a much-needed respite from the city’s drab surroundings. Food is more fusion than French, with crudos, tartare, and steaks featured prominently and an Angel’s Envy Manhattan that matches all of the restaurant’s decadence." - Molly McDonough
