Clio

Best of Boston 1999 Special Occasion Restaurant

Now starting its third year, plush and stately Clio has clearly made its mark on Boston\\'s culinary landscape, mixing a refined and elegant atmosphere with chef Ken Oringer\\'s Asian-influenced cuisine married to the finest in French culinary techniques. Clio\\'s velveteen banquettes, its luxurious spacing between tables, and its fine service make for as sophisticated a dining experience as you\\'ll find in Boston. As for the food, Oringer has been known to take seafood beloved by the Japanese-the sea urchin for example-and give it the French treatment. Among his standout dishes have been a memorable swordfish au poivre with lentils and shallots, and a garlic-rubbed chicken with a fabulous crispy skin. Perfect for an intimate evening or a night on the town with a group of friends.
