I have visited this restaurant several times and it always satisfies me with their delicious flavor. Every time I come I always order from their "choice from fresh daily catch" as they choose fresh daily menu every day. One of their most favorite menus is pan seared tuna, which they served raw inside. You can feel the freshness and the tenderness of the tuna without any raw smell. You no need to worry about food poisoning from the raw tune, since they served it with wasabi that can neutralize it. This dish comes with two choices of side dishes that you can choose from 10 sides that they have provided. I usually choose asparagus and fried sweet potato as for me their asparagus is fresh and the sweet potato is the perfect choice of carbohydrate for my meal. Sometimes, especially during the weekend, the restaurant will be crowded, therefore I recommend you to make an online reservation first through opentable.com or call them at (617) 267-4000.

Once, I tried this restaurant along with a group of my friend during the restaurant week. It was a nice dining experience actually as we can get a good deal for our meal. We all chose steaks and most of us chose a medium rare one. The steak was fresh and very tender at the same time. The seasoning was perfect as well, I can feel the flavor and it was very tasty. For the desert, I love their Crème bulle which give you a sensation like in paradise. 

Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse

200 Dartmouth St, Boston, MA 02116

Another steak restaurant that I can recommend you is Fogo de Chão Brazilian Steakhouse. They serve a lot of a different kind of meat from signature sirloin, filet mignon, ribeye, Brazilian sirloin, lamb, chicken, and more. For your information it is "all you can eat" restaurant. Once you seated, the server will come to your table and offer you a variety of steak in turn. If you want the meat, the server will serve you a portion of it, but if the meat is not on your wish list you can just refuse it. However, you have to prepare at least $40.95 (without tax and tips), which for me a little bit expensive. You can also enjoy complimentary menu from the Salad Bar.

If you want to taste a good seafood dishes, you might want to visit this restaurant. One of their most favorite dishes is the lobster roll. The roll comes with a big chunk of lobster meat on the inside, not just a few tiny portions of the meat that you found in most of the other restaurants. Besides the lobster roll, you can also try their oysters and scallop, because they were tasty too. The restaurants are not that big with limited seats inside and they do not accept any reservation through the telephone. Therefore, if you want to dine in this restaurant you should come early and get your name reserve for a table, stroll around Newbury Street, and comeback when your table is ready.
