Beacon Hill Bistro

|Beacon Hill Bistro

The Overview: Beacon Hill Bistro conjures a fantasy of a first-class dining car: There are banquettes along both walls, dark mahogany paneling, snappy black-and-white mosaic tiles on the floor, and windows with views of the ever fashionable Charles Street traffic. The menu is simple and seductive, the ingredients good, the technique classic French and thought-out. The problem is that the dishes and technique are often too thought-out, which means results can be uneven. Stars include the Chantenay carrot soup with ginger and curried shrimp; roasted beet salad with mint, farmer’s cheese, and almond vinaigrette; and gnocchi with spring peas, truffles, and ricotta salata. But it’s desserts where chef Benjamin Knack lives up to his name (don’t leave without sampling the lush chocolate mousse torte).
