Spring is about to hit, so I had to get to LoLa 42 Boston with picturesque patio seating by the water in the Seaport before it gets super busy. They have two other locations in Nantucket and Palm Beach, so you know they had the bar raised when it came to standards, and they didn’t disappoint. Prices reflected the Seaport, but quality matters and not every menu item will break the bank. The cocktails were something special, and if that is your forte, you should plan a visit.
