Best of Boston

This year French-American husband-and-wife team Pierre and Susan Guerin revamped the menu and ratcheted up the service at their Oak Bluffs café, effecting a vast improvement on what was already a pretty sweet place.

One thing, though, remains happily unaltered: the romantic white-lit garden patio.
