Best of Boston

2013 Best Downtown Restaurant

Marliave

This romantic hideaway is just far enough from Washington Street so you don’t feel trapped in the Downtown Crossing mosh pit. Bonus—dollar oysters and clams are offered from 4 to 6 p.m., and 9 to 10 p.m., daily. What to Order: The pan-roasted chicken with risotto; mussels with roasted tomatoes.
