 Menton Restaurant Review: When Menton opened it instantly caused a stir, not only because of the chef-owner Barbara Lynch, one of the most respected culinary figures in the city, but also because of the eye-popping (for Boston, anyway) prices: the chef's tasting is $155, plus an additional $105 for wine. But in the hands of executive chef Colin Lynch (no relation), French-Italian cuisine is elevated to the next level. Behold: salsify velouté with escargot, garlic and parsley. Then there's the Prime short rib of beef, black pudding, shallot and cucumber. Lynch also works magic with foie gras, as in the terrine accented with pomelo, ginger and Monbazillac. Desserts might include a blood orange galette with poppy seed, vanilla and local honey, or perhaps a black cocoa tart with coconut, malt and cinnamon. Note: A four-course prix-fixe menu is offered for $95 as well. The wine list skips between France, Italy and Austria, with some choice American wines rounding out the list, particularly from California's Sonoma coast. Burgundy is also very well-represented. Food and wine this grand deserves the proper setting, and Menton delivers with its Murano glass chandelier in the entryway and Philippe Starck-designed "ghost" chairs in the private dining room. For a more intimate experience, eschew the main dining room for the chef's table, a glass-encased enclave, festooned with one long silver banquette, complete with a view of Menton's sleek kitchen. Service is graceful and unobtrusive. |
