Dinner Recommendations Near South Station for Boss and I

Hi we're arriving tomorrow evening around 6 and I needed a nice place to have dinner before we get in a cab to Bedford. Any recommendations? I'm hoping for someplace like a Balthazar? I would just love a nice piece of fish.
Thank you!

    10 minutes walk from South Station is Pasta Beach, big hit with the Italian expat community in Boston. Good pizzas and pastas, I have had their spaghetti with seafood before, very good. It's at the ground floor of the Boston Harbor Hotel.

        Another fine restaurant that you might want to consider is Radius (http://www.radiusrestaurant.com/). It's a short walk from South Station, probably the closest place for high-end dining.

                3rd for Les Zygs. This place is totally underrated in my opinion

                Trade is a solid option

                  not balthazar, lol, but les zygomates does respectable bistro food and is a short walk from south station.

                    There is nothing remotely like Balthazar in Boston, sorry.

                    There are a lot of options if you're willing to walk or T it.

                    Is fish a deal breaker ?

                      Hey Hamster,
                      Thanks for responding and point taken about Balthazar. I am open to other suggestions but fish is kinda up there, I'm pescetarian...

                        chinatown is a stone's throw and you can get excellent fish at east ocean city or peach farm.
