Blue Hill Tavern, a kid-friendly restaurant? Isn’t that the sophisticated place on Brewer’s Hill with the faux-snakeskin chairs and the pricey sous-vide dishes? It is, indeed, but despite the absence of a children’s menu, you’ll often find happy kids in evidence. Even better, Blue Hill caters to our own inner child as it pampers the adult in search of fine dining and ambitious flavors. A signature dish, tomato-and-roasted red pepper soup served with grilled Fontina wedges with white truffle butter, is a refined update on a childhood classic, as is the Kobe beef burger on brioche. And trendy sous-vide, which cooks vacuum-sealed food in a water bath: what is this but a very, very luxurious version of mom’s boil-in-a-bag dinners? (Although we are pretty sure mom’s version never involved Châteaubriand.) You can even begin your dinner with popcorn --- with truffle oil and sea salt, of course. Service is friendly and attentive, the décor spiffy-sleek (and yes, blue) and from the second-floor veranda there’s a nice view of the city lights. It’s easy to find, too: just look for the iconic Mr. Boh sign.
