"Porto — the Mediterranean seafood restaurant from the Trade team — features an oasis of a patio in Back Bay, up above street level and full of cozy lounge furniture and bar. A retractable awning provides sun protection when needed, and a television comes out for special events. (Plus, it’s heated in colder weather.)" - Eater Staff
"While you await chef Jody Adams to open her next restaurant within the Raffles Boston hotel later this year (joining Amar, which opened in September), head to her well-loved coastal Italian spot. Savor three-course dinners that include crispy brussels sprouts with currant-caper relish, baked cod with spiced quinoa and pistachio pesto, plus seasonal sorbet as a light dessert. Dinner will set you back $55 and is only available Tuesday through Friday." - Nathan Tavares, Erika Adams
