Quincy Street Bistro

When Quincy Street Bistro opened in 2011 in the city’s Princeton Heights neighborhood, it was a very good corner tavern. When Rick Lewis, who had worked under Josh Galliano at the acclaimed restaurant Monarch, took over the kitchen in late 2012, Quincy Street became a very good restaurant. Lewis has refined the menu and added a Southern accent. The BLT, for example, features tart, crisp fried green tomatoes as well as house-cured bacon. Suppers include fried chicken and catfish as well as pork roast and cast-iron seared steaks. The burgers — ten-ounce patties ground from locally raised beef — are among the best in town.
