Wellesley's Asian-fusion mainstay

More than 12 years after Ming Tsai first came on the scene with his nuanced take on Asian-French fusion, it's nice to see that the sole restaurant in the multimedia Tsai empire still earns raves. The now-classic dishes, such as garlic-black pepper lobster and miso-and-sake-marinated butterfish, stand the test of time, and the excellent service is proof of how smoothly a dining room can operate when it's run by seasoned pros.
