Dovetail Restaurant is one of the best american restaurants in Boston for date night, especially if you want a strong option in Charlestown.
Charlestown has a way of feeling both frozen in time and quietly ahead of the curve — cobblestone streets, the shadow of the Bunker Hill Monument, and a neighborhood that's been gentrifying slowly enough that the good spots still feel earned rather than engineered.

Sixteen seats, a 90-minute window, and a chef who won "Chopped" then poured the prize into a food truck before landing here on Sanborn Court — Kush is the kind of intimate, chef-driven room Somerville does better than anyone.
Let me be honest about what this is: a walk-the-line bowl shop on Boylston, not a room you linger in.
Burg & Shaw is the kind of concept that shouldn't need explaining but always does — because the mashup sounds like a novelty until you realize it isn't.
