North 26 Restaurant And Bar Boston

Very good. We came here for our christmas meal. The food was excellent. I got the swordfish melt with fries and it was very good. For dessert I had the pumpkin tart and the boston cream pie. They were both delicious. The service was also excellent. I was very impressed with this meal!

Groupon Visit. I live in Providence & purchased this Groupon to have lunch or dinner w/one of a few friends...I wish I had used it for my friend Drew's belated b-day day in Boston (it was a complete day on Groupons; lunch, Museum of Science Omni, Boston Chocolate Walking Tour, Dinner & dessert!), but we chose other places. Another friend was sscheduled in town for 2 weeks before a gig on a cruise ship-his rehearsals got moved to the Bahamas at the last minute and another....is a workaholic like I that couldn't pull himself away for a luch break when I had appts in town...so, the day before expiration, I went up had dinner solo!

The two tables next to me both had Groupons...one raved about the Lobster Trio and the Halibut...the other had th Grilled Flatbread appetizer that looked and smelled wonderful as well as 2 Surf & Turf specials.I chose the Surf & Turf Special, a 4oz petit filet and lobster tail as well as the Brick Chicken w/golden and red beets w/a portobello & pea green salad and Tiramisu to go.

The filet I asked for 'still mooing' and it was PERFECT, the lobster tail in a beurre blanc w/pea greens was a little tough and weak in lobster fllavor. The Chicken was great the following night at home, The Tiramisu was probably the worst I've had in an upscale restaurant, I expeted much better. The online menu I reviewed before going had 3 desserts I was debating (Creampuff Trio, Lemon Ricotta layer cake and a Chocolate Mousse Cheesecake ), NONE of which were on the current menu...I was disappointed.

Service was great, I will return to try some of the other items on the menu which looked tempting as I saw them being delivered to other tables...and overheard many complimentary comments from other diners.
