Legal Harborside 

The Legal Sea Food empire’s flagship location on Boston Harbor boasts two fireplaces—one on the formal second floor space (tip: ask for table 407 for the best spot) and another on the roof deck, which offers a lounge atmosphere and a retractable roof and walls, along with 27 wines by the glass and pitchers of cocktails.

River Bar

Outdoor dining in the winter? It’s possible here, thanks to roaring fire pits and a partially enclosed, heated bar area.

Tapestry 

The dual-concept restaurant’s tropical-themed Club Room features a central fireplace and a chill atmosphere for dining and imbibing.

Oleana

As one of the top tables in the Boston area, Ana Sortun’s acclaimed Turkish/Middle Eastern-inspired establishment is certainly a big draw on its own. Add a gas-fired, cast-iron stove, however, and you have one in-demand eatery this winter.
