Locke-Ober Café

$$$-$$$$, Continental, Downtown


Fodor's Review:

Chef-owner Lydia Shire gave this old Boston spot a much-needed update when she took the reins in 2001. The ornate woodwork gleams again, and the once-stodgy kitchen is turning out classics with flair -- and a slightly lighter touch. Traditionalists needn't worry, though; many favorites remain on the menu, including Shire's signature finnan haddie (smoked haddock) stew; Indian pudding, which has never been better; and clams casino. There is valet parking after 6 PM.
