My spouse and I had dinner at Menton in mid-August 2010 to celebrate my birthday. Despite the fact that we did not tell the restaurant that we were celebrating, when my dessert was delivered, the plate was decorated with an appropriate message written in chocolate. (We think that the restaurant must have mined our data using our using Open Table profile.) Located in Fort Point, the neighborhood’s urban cityscape, with its blend of historic brick buildings and sleek, futuristic design statements, is the perfect setting for Menton, a modern interpretation of fine dining. With beautifully executed cuisine, an unparalleled wine program, gracious hospitality and a glamorous setting, we seek to excite, inspire, and transport guests for one memorable evening. Since opening in 2010, the restaurant has received numerous accolades, including a 4 star review from The Boston Globe, being named one of both Bon Appétit and Esquire magazine’s best new restaurants in 2010, and being nominated as a James Beard Foundation Awards 2011 finalist for Best New Restaurant. Menton received the Best Newcomer, Best French, and Best Service distinctions in the Zagat Boston Restaurant Guide 2011-2012 and is Boston’s only Relais & Châteaux, AAA Five-Diamond, and Forbes Travel Guide Five-Star property.
