No. 9 Park

Situated in the shadow of the State House, Barbara Lynch’s flagship restaurant offers a head-on view of Boston Common. The sleek, cosmopolitan environs are patrolled by attentive servers. Lynch’s culinary team produces a harmonious blend of regionally-inspired Italian and French dishes, served a la carte or as part of a chef's tasting menu. Don't miss one of the city’s most famous dishes: an appetizer of prune-stuffed gnocchi with foie gras, almond, and vin santo. At the bar, there’s a separate, less expensive menu popular with industry types and locals stopping in for a bite. Also of note is one of the city’s most decorated wine lists.
