"The small plates style at this Brookline Thai tapas bar, awarded Bib Gourmand status by Michelin, allows diners to indulge in many flavors during one sitting. Here, Nantucket oysters are tossed in Thai seafood sauce and chile jam, and spicy crab curry lives on the same table as barbecue crispy pork. Owner Boong Boonnak’s Mahaniyom is also known for its excellent bar program. Creations like the Mahaniyom Sazerac with Thai tea-infused rye, bitters, and absinthe helped it win Michelin’s cocktail award." - Celina Colby
