The Best Restaurants In Somerville - Boston - The Infatuation

"What if we told you that one of the most romantic restaurants in Boston is located in a former broom closet? Albeit, one with a live-edge oak bar, vintage furniture reupholstered by the owner, and cozy corners bathed in warm lantern-light. The Eaves is not a spot for claustrophobes, but bring a date looking to get cozy over shrimp gyoza dotted with chili oil, rich Vietnamese mountain duck tartare, and spicy, bone-warming beef noodle soup. The entire kitchen consists of two cooks working on induction burners, and there is a single front-of-house bartender/server/host/manager who will help you decode the drink menu, well stocked with Japanese whisky and sake (no cocktails, just neat or on the rocks)." - tanya edwards, lala thaddeus, catherine smart
