The Eaves - Review - 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 in Somerville? Albeit, one with a live-edge oak bar, vintage furniture reupholstered by the owner, and cozy corners bathed in warm lantern light. Go to The Eaves for a distraction-free date, where the room is set up for you to sit a little too close to each other and pretend the outside world doesn’t exist. photo credit: Joe St. Pierre The short menu changes frequently, but order the delicate shrimp gyoza dotted with chili oil if they're available. On cold days, the spicy, bone-warming beef noodle soup is essential. 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 serve you a complimentary shot of sake when you sit down. Ask them for help decoding the drink menu, which is well stocked with Japanese whisky and sake. photo credit: Joe St. Pierre" - Catherine Smart
