Sportello
I have to agree about Sportello, though I think Barbara may be spreading herself to these days. The food at No.9 has slipped over the past few months as has the food in the South End. And don't get me started about Drink, there is another thread devoted entirely to that. I do wish I could get a martini when I feel like it. Perhaps she just does not have enough time to oversee all her restaurants and with the lack of culinary talent in this city she is having a hard time filling her kitchens. That being said I am looking forward to her new concept open in the Fort Point. should make for an interesting addition to our neighborhood.
Bar at No. 9 Park
I think the bar at No.9 is not the same as it used to be, but then I was partial to Ryan instead of John. The loss of the bar menu (ie the lobster gnocchi) saddened me to no end and they have recently renovated the space which is not to my liking. That being said, I have never liked the dining room there and truly miss being able to pony up to the bar and have interesting cocktails and tasty affordable food.
