Tasting for Two during the holidays

[danyboy]

My girlfriend and I are looking to go out for a holiday dinner on an upcoming weekend. We enjoy trying new places and generally like all different types of cuisine, with money not a factor in regards to the restaurant of choice. We have recently been to Sibling Rivalry, Pomodora, Davios, Ruth Chris...Originally we had talked about finding a fancier restaurant, I would like to find a place with a good tasting menu (my girlfriend is always talking about doing a tasting). Any place in the greater Boston area is fine; we have a car and have access to the T. Any suggestions you have would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

This thread from August is a nice compendium of options in the city:

If you've seldom or never done a tasting menu before, I'd recommend No. 9, L'Espalier, or Troquet for a nice, classic take on the idea.

If you're looking for something a little different, I'd recommend O Ya or Craigie Street Bistrot, for omakase and country French, respectively.

Troquet does a fabulous tasting with wine pairings that really make it special.

I wanted to see what Troquet was all about, but when I went on their website it said they are closed until further notice...bummer. :-(

Where on the website? Looks ok to me:

www.troquetboston.com

OpenTable is taking reservations too.

You linked to the Troquet in CA, not the one in Boston (they are unrelated). Check out finlero's link above.
