Need a decent restaurant in the desert of Back Bay

[bella_sarda]

Friends are staying at Hilton Back Bay (Dalton St.) and we want a restaurant within walking distance (up to 15 minute walk OK), mid-priced (entrees in 20s mostly) What are my best options with these criteria? Also, nothing too loud!

Certainly within a 15 minute walk of the Hilton, your friends will be near enough to visit the South End. The closest South End restaurant is Petit Robert on Columbus serving classic bistro cuisine. Walking a few minutes further than Petit Robert would allow your friends to visit Toro on Washington Street and other South End restaurants.

Brasserie Jo in the Colonnade Hotel would be a good bet.

Thanks for the recs. I had forgotten about Sel de la Terre in that location. That sounds like the best bet to me based on my past experiences (all good) at the Aquarium location.

Are Davio's and Atlantic Seafood too loud? Douzo, the bar at the Mandarin, Coda, Petit Robert Bistro (on Columbus).

Second Sel de la Terre. Lucca Back Bay is also good, although perhaps a bit more expensive than your target (pastas in the 20s, entrees high 20s and into the 30s).

Sel de la Terre, Vlora, La Voile going in town and, in the Fenway direction, Eastern Standard Kitchen. South End and, I think walkable, Metropolitan Cafe and Ginger Park

I second La Voile. Lucca in the N. End is good - haven't been to the one over there. Casa Romero for authentic Mexican.
