Boston Chops
1375 Washington St.

Boston Chops has a casual atmosphere with a refined food aesthetic. There are such rich menu items as duck fat fingerling potatoes, pork belly mac & cheese, fried chicken and crab cakes. The steak and chop menu is well-rounded with cuts like Prime Chateaubriand, filet mignon and braised shortribs. However, these items have a very hefty price tag, so beware before booking. A more reasonably priced "rarely celebrated" section appears on the menu with items like sweetbreads, tongue, cheeks and heart. If Dad likes a culinary thrill, take him to Boston Chops without breaking the bank.
