In the heart of fashionable Back Bay, adjacent to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Boylston Street, one block from the Hynes Convention Center, Prudential Center and Copley Place. L'Espalier is walking distance to Symphony Hall, Berklee Performance Center and major colleges and universities.
Sophisticated and modern New England-French cuisine, with an emphasis on artisanal and New England ingredients.
Valet parking available for a fee.
One of the best restaurants in Boston and worth every penny. The experience is one to remember for years to come. The staff is so knowledgable of the food, wine, and cheese and offer great selections. Trust me you can not go wrong with the menu there is a lot to choose from and each time you visit you can change the way the you dine out...trust me you will fall in love with this place and want to go back as mucha s possible
Food still superb, but maybe not as great it was. For example, ordered a very rare tenderloin that was medium rare to medium with never a question from the waiter. Still it was really good.
New digs very sleek and modern, but a touch cold. The layout is a bit confusing. Not nearly as warm or inviting at dining at the old Brownstone that housed L'Espalier for many years
Prices are absolutely off the charts, be sure to bring your banker.

Jiho Kim has an incorrigible sweet tooth and the perfect cure for it: He’s head pastry chef at L’Espalier. Kim, 35, was recently named a “Boston Rising Star’’ by StarChefs.com, the first online food magazine, which will soon celebrate its 15th anniversary. (Full review)
Long known as a place to get engaged, L'Espalier sees about one proposal a month. That means upward of 300 marriages have been launched in the Gloucester Street townhouse occupied by the restaurant for the last 26 years. Presumably, many of them have outlasted its run. Saturday was L'Espalier's last night in the cramped, romantic digs. Marriages, ultimately, may be easier to maintain and update than a cranky 1880s building full of drafts, short on kitchen space, and long on lines for the bathroom. (Full review)
