Over the past two years, the dining scene in the Fort Point neighborhood has become the hottest in the city. The area’s newest restaurant, Bastille Kitchen (49 Melcher St., 617-556-8000, bastillekitchen.net), is also its grandest. This French eatery, the latest venture from renowned restaurateur Seth Greenberg, features a large, lavish main dining room as well as a rustic, subterranean lounge known as the Chalet. No matter where you dine, you’ll find a dinner menu full of such familiar French fare as onion soup, escargot, bouillabaisse and steak frites as well as original twists on tradition from chef Adam Kube like tea-smoked mussels marinere, along with flatbreads and local and sustainable seafood options.
