Burgers at Five Guys are not fussy, not fussy at all.
Simple and satisfying
Five Guys Burgers and Fries, 517 State St.
Sturdy burgers and excellent hand-cut, never-frozen fries. No fuss, no frills.
Splurge
Johnny Delmonico's, 130 S. Pinckney St.
The Delmonico’s Trio — three dayboat scallops served seared atop tenderloin medallions, with mashed potatoes, oyster mushrooms and Bordelaise sauce — is spendy but oh so worth it.
More than the sum of its parts
Francesca's al Lago, 111 Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.
The quattro stagioni pizza is lucious, with quadrants devoted to prosciutto, artichoke, mushroom and olive, all topped with a sunny-side-up egg.
