Mooncusser
Back Bay, Boston, United States

Mooncusser pairs a measured tasting menu with a dining room that feels welcoming rather than ceremonial. Upstairs, arched windows establish the setting for Carl Dooley’s changing cooking, where seafood is a recurring theme and influences move across regions. A thoughtful wine selection and relaxed service help the meal unfold naturally. Choose it for a focused dinner that retains a sense of ease, and keep the upstairs restaurant distinct from the more informal bar operation below when making your reservation.
