Review content:
I work for Start Up company. Which means, sometimes there are no drinks in the fridge and occasionally I can be found sans shoes in the conference room. It certainly does not, initially anyway, mean posh lunch in the Financial District.
But I have amazing and generous bosses, and work for a company that has continued to shine through an economic downturn, which all lead up to one epic moment in my life--
Lunch
At
Radius.
It wouldn't have been nearly as monumental if my coworkers hadn't gushed over their experiences there after every ""Lunch Meeting"" they attended. I heard tales of the most amazing burger in Boston. Of basil-infused lemonade and a twenty dollar cheese plate. Of men in suits doing important things and closing important deals and spending important money.
So obviously, when I went for a business lunch there with two of my favorite higher-ups, I was surprised to see I did not feel entirely out of place. While I love dive bars sometimes (always) (constantly) (regularly), I can also sometimes (ineffectively) (clumsily) enjoy an upscale meal (especially when I'm not footing the bill?).
The staff certainly helps to make you feel welcome, whether you're in a power suit or flipflops (guess which was me?!), and the service is downright impeccable at most times.
I've only been for lunch, and sampled a number of menu items. Apparently the burger is to die for (and for twenty bones--it certainly should be), but I have a weirdness about ground beef that is neither important nor relevant to your life, so we'll just say I cannot comment on the burger, except that it looked great, and fried onions atop anything is fabulous. I can, however, vouch for the Lobster BLT, which is as decadent as it sounds. Also the Handmade Maltagliati, which is a fancy name for delicious wide pasta, served with duck and crushed pistachios. Cause, ya know, why not? Also, the calamari is the best around.
The restaurant itself is stunning, playing off the original design as a bank (always a fun fact to throw out there should your dinner conversation turn awkward). Everything down to the bathroom decor is meticulously placed and cared for.
Overall, delicious dining experience and I'd say it's ""worth every penny"" if they were ever my pennies to begin with ;-)
Pros: fantastic food
Cons: going here makes me feel like i live below the poverty line
