In an appropriately curved dining room that once housed a bank, Radius spins out the modern French cuisine of one of Boston’s hottest chefs, Michael Schlow.
All minimalist, geometric chic, the décor was once described by Boston Globe reviewer Alison Arnett as “severely elegant, a space designed rather than decorated.” There’s a substantial wine vault (courtesy of that former bank tenant) downstairs.
The coolest thing, though is Schlow’s internationally-recognized way with dishes. He and his cooking have collected an impressive pile of awards since Radius’ 1998 debut.
