Artisan Bistro (Ritz-Carlton Boston)

Artisan Bistro is the restaurant at The Ritz-Carlton, Boston, near Boston Common in the Theater District. It serves breakfast and lunch to hotel guests and residents and is a spot for business meetings, after-work drinks and post-theater cocktails. The kitchen focuses on approachable artisanal American cooking with fresh, local and seasonal dishes that use native ingredients and uniquely sourced products, with subtle bistro influences.

The 76-seat dining room is modern with European design touches: crafted wood wainscoting, rich woods, dramatic overhead lighting and white-washed wood floors. Ivory stitched-leather banquettes line dramatic windows overlooking Avery Street. The bar is a big part of the experience, pouring local favorites, numerous microbrews and a signature Bloody Mary menu, and the hotel’s Avery Bar adds signature martinis and handcrafted cocktails. The mood stays lively but relaxed.
