Posh Radius has everything most of its upscale competitors lack: classic but hip style; unpretentious, out-of-this-world service, and food so good it'll make you weak at the knees. Radius restlessly reinvents its menu every month, and will personalize 6- and 9-course tasting menus ($85 and $125). The soothing red glow softens the minimalist dining room, and the attention to detail extends from meticulously prepared dishes that resemble works of art to bud vases in individual bathroom stalls. While the prices may be steep, don't expect anything other than top-notch at Radius. Appetizers $12-17. Entrees $27-42. Desserts prepared by pastry chefs whose awards litter the downstairs hallways, $9-15. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

Originally on Province Street in Downtown Crossing with origins dating back to the 1940s, The Littlest Bar has reopened in a new--and slightly larger--location on Broad Street in the Financial District. Proprietor Paddy Grace closed the infamous original locale two years ago after issues with a high-rise condo development in Downtown Crossing. The new spot, covered with old-school memorabilia including photos and a letter from former Boston mayor Ray Flynn, also shares a kitchen with The Times Irish Pub & Restaurant. Small-size order of fish and chips, anyone?

Nestled in between the Downtown Crossing and Financial District neighborhoods of Boston, you will find The Good Life: full lunch/dinner/bar/lounge experience. Catering primarily to the business lunch during the day, when the sun sets The Good Life serves up delicious fare for dinner as one heck of a good time. The first level of the newly renovated and family owned establishment contains a bar and dining room but down one level is the Afterlife lounge: home to over 150 frozen vodkas (kept at 10°)and DJs spinning quality music from all genres most days of the week. The Good Life has a vodka for everyone. From flavored, potato, and regular distilled, they are primarily from countries like Russia, Poland, and Antarctica. However, you can even find quality American vodka in their growing collection. The full dinner menu is also available in the Afterlife lounge. Although mostly known for serving up fun times, sophisticated cocktails, and nightly entertainment, The Good Life also serves up interesting and appetizing fare. Open for lunch and dinner, the menu consists of everything from the lauded tuna tartare and crispy salmon, to "not your mom's meatloaf", and classic fish and chips. They also have a variety of pizzas, sandwiches, appetizers, and sides. The Good Life believes in supporting local artists by showcasing their art on the walls, which are available for purchase. Entertainment is a large part of the scene here with DJ's performing throughout the month. The music selection ranges from down tempo electronic, deep sexy house, mash ups, rock ‘n' roll, reggae, funk & soul, dub step, and hip hop. Private parties are a popular option as the Good Life can accommodate food, drink, and music for up to 200 people. Their Event Coordinator, Callie Laquidara, will prepare an event catered to your needs utilizing the Good Life's dynamic space. The downstairs Vodka Lounge is a more intimate setting and more suitable for larger groups. This area was created for a more private space with more of a cocktail and small plate backdrop. The upstairs dining room is the perfect location for smaller events.

The Meritage Restaurant boasts one of the best views in all of Boston on the harbor. The decor is upscale and sophisticated. The service is tremendous. Each dish was presented beautifully and cooked to perfection. One of the best meals in Boston, but pricey. Try the martini with blue cheese-stuffed olive, it's fantastic. Meritage is the culmination of Chef Daniel Bruce’s 13 years a chef for the Boston Wine Festival where he pairs more than 200 dishes each year with outstanding wines from around the world. Tip: One benefit of dressing up for Meritage is appearing more huffy and stuffy than you really are, enabling you to crash high-class company parties at the top-notch downstairs bar.
