What Are The Most Unique Restaurants In Massachusetts?
A restaurant hiding in a botanical garden might be pretty unique, but so are these three locations!
- A taste of the Big Easy in Massachusetts? That's exactly what you'll find at Bootleg Special in Boston, a unique Cajun-accented bar and restaurant offering strong flavors in a New Orleans-style environment. The signature item here is the seafood boils, which can be customized or chosen from the restaurant's suggestions. Your choice of seafood, veggies, and other food items is tossed in a spicy sauce and brought to your table steaming hot. If you have room after your seafood boil, make sure to indulge in the restaurant's delicious beignets.
- For those looking for a break from the hustle and bustle of family restaurants, you won't do better than a visit to Bogie's Place, a Boston-area steakhouse themed to an old-time speakeasy. This is an adults-only restaurant with a hidden entrance and a fine dining atmosphere; they even discourage cell phone use while dining. You'll want your full attention to be on the delicious food, including massive steaks and indulgent desserts. When you're dining here, you might feel like you've been transported back to the 1920s.
- The 1761 Old Mill Restaurant is another restaurant that feels like a trip back in time - but much further. This is one of the state's most historic restaurants, being housed in a centuries-old former sawmill and serving classic New England-style dishes. Seafood is a highlight here, but the food starts before you even order - every visit to the restaurant starts with a complimentary plate of corn fritters and pecan rolls, both of which are delicious. Don't fill up before the entree gets here - as tempting as it may be.
