On a quiet street in historic South End, 28 Degrees welcomes drinkers and diners to a chic setting set off with dim lighting, sheer curtains and dark wood tables. The menu offers plates of seared mahi mahi, barbecue ribs, and truffled mac ’n’ cheese. Those interested in sharing can opt for smaller bar bites like steak tacos, yellowfin tuna tartare and burrata. The team here even manages to make brick-oven pizza stylish, with toppings like Asian pear, fontal, jalapeño, chorizo, and gorgonzola.
Appropriately for a place that takes its name from the ideal temperature at which to serve a martini, the bar serves up an ice-cold fair trade vodka martini with cornichon. They also have a list of inventive numbers like the Peach Lavender Collins and Passion Inferno Caipirinha.
