I finally found a place in the North End, Boston for the most part that is unique, and consistently serves the best meals I've ever eaten. There are so many restaurants in the area, I often either take clients or attend business dinners, and sometimes have time to dine with friends. There are only two things I would change, but they are also the reason I return. A genuine approach to service. The food is exquisite, but this city has many places that serve food of this caliber. It is the service, the unpretentious presentation of these meals. though I often refer to Yelp to select new places when traveling or entertaining, I never have reviewed a restaurant on here. I dined here three times, and finally thought I had better write this up. Each visit was flawless.
The first time I walked in off the street with my wife, Peter, a server approached us as if we were the most important people in a very full dining room. We were seated in the lower level, which was fine, it was a bit chilly upstairs. this authentic wine cellar with warm ambiance and a fireplace made our March visit very romantic. We were suggested the stuffed artichokes, perfectly stuffed with Goat cheese, wrapped in prosciutto, with arugula greens and fennel in a basket of linguini (it was explained). Peter served a Veal Chop that still has me salivating and my wife enjoyed the swordfish, perfectly cooked, honestly the best I'd ever had. I still enjoy my steakhouses, but this veal chop, though not the same quality of Ruth's Chris, was prepared so well and it was considerably less. The service was outstanding. The entire evening, Greyson took the professional touches as Peter checked on us every course then went upstairs. The other waiter, Joseph was so hospitable as well. This was an evening that seemed like a major celebration. This place sets apart, the owner Robert greeted us and introduced himself. A restaurant of this caliber without the uptight and stiff corporate or North End attitude that we once loved is a gem!
I booked my office party there in April, as Peter once again was gracious and my co-workers cant stop going on and on about how special that evening was.
I entertained a client there on Saturday night, I was recognized. It was the little touches as Peter remembered that I like my dressing light on my Caesar salad, anchovies on the side. Now that's customer service! I actually ate The Linguini with clams and my client was so impressed that she had a Branzino so perfect in every way that she ate the whole exotic dish herself.
My wine was poured by another server, very efficient these folks are. He is very nice as well.
So to sum it up, if you want the greatest meal in your life, you have to go to Ristorante Euno. It's not the easiest place to find, but it is worth the visit. It is charming, not in a forced way, and the servers talk to you and guide you through to personalize your experience and that's what diners really want. Peter is one of the best restaurant pros in Boston. I can't wait to go back again for my wife's birthday next week. read more
