Back to its Boylston Street roots after more than two decades in a Back Bay townhouse, L'Espalier is now adjacent to the Mandarin Oriental, Boston—an ideal fit for a restaurant that mirrors that hotel group's commitment to luxury and high standards. This is an East Coast fine dining institution that is French through and through, with a strong emphasis on the regional bounty of New England, where chef Frank McClelland grew up on a New Hampshire farm.
