Best Fun Restaurants in Downtown Crossing

As usual, No 9 delivered a delicious, elegant experience. Inventive cocktails delighted. Prune gnocchi = divinity. Chicken, not something I usually order, reached perfection. Celery root and maitaki paired beautifully. My birthday chicolate soufflé topped it all off with panache.

Silver Dove is a delightful little place for a traditional high tea with a thoughtfully curated selection of teas and creative touches to the traditional sweet and savory canapés. In addition, Silver Dove offers equally thoughtfully crafted cocktails and mocktails - I don’t drink alcohol anymore and have valiantly been trying mocktails wherever I go, hoping to find some that are not too sweet and more interesting than a couple of juices mixed with club soda. I tried Silver Dove’s Manhattan Transfer, and was stunned. This NA drink had all of the subtleties of flavor and mouthfeel of the very best cocktail. The ingredients were unusual, putting on full display the palate sophistication of the person who created it. We were so pleased with the whole Silver Dove experience. For anyone who might think that high tea would be pretentious or that you’d leave hungry, the easy hospitality of the staff plus the plentiful little open sandwiches and sweet treats guarantees a fun and tasty afternoon.

Always great service and a great time at Estella’s . I bring all my friends here and the food is always consistent , our server (Hannah) was amazing . I believe that’s her name . Will always support Estella’s .

My boyfriend and I went here for his birthday. The service and food were amazing plus they provided him with a dessert to celebrate. I would recommend this place to others and would definitely come back.

Another great meal at Q. We travel in from the suburbs to come here. The food and service are fantastic. I need gluten free and they have GF clearly marked on the menu and the servers are always attentive and ask too. I’m able to eat safely there, and the hot pot is delicious.
