yeah, from what I heard it is a husband /wife team where the husband manages a farm (sienna farm I believe) and the wife runs or is chef at the restaurant. they also use local products such as cheese and chocolate from made in somerville and many others i'm sure.
+1 to the Publick House (though technically it's Brookline)
I'm a huge fan of craft beer so any place that serves it with good food rates high on my list. Check out these others:
- Sunset Bar and Grill (good bar food, large tap and bottle list)
- Deep Ellum (good food and a very select tap list with some locals and hard-to-finds)
- Lord Hobo (Cambridge, not Boston, but again offers a great beer list as well as food options)
The Paramount on Charles st has great food, and the burgers are reasonable priced, nice location as well. If you want a good burrito, go to Montecristo's in Brigam circle, super ethnic and awesome.
