Editorial Review for Troquet – by Eric Grossman
The Scene
With a stylishly narrow second-floor dining room and impressive views of Boston Common and the State House, Troquet presents an attractive choice for theatergoers in search of a luxurious pre-show meal. The restaurant's wine-loving owners put an incredible amount of effort into the wine list, pairing each and every menu item with several wines (available in two- or four-ounce servings). The ground floor's lounge features comfy couches and a playful, pared-down menu--check out the impressive charcuterie. Service in all corners is suitably professional.
The Food
Befitting the wide range of wines available, the menu, though limited in its number of choices, does a fine job in offering light (yellowfin tuna ceviche) and heavy (roasted suckling pig) selections. Dishes like savory braised short rib cannelloni remain on the menu, with preparation styles changing frequently. Dessert options include an adventurous cheese plate that's perfect for those looking to keep the wine flowing.

Caesar salad was delicious, as was the Duo of Foie Gras (served two ways, with pear), would not suggest the Roasted Organic Chicken (way dry), nor the Suckling Pig (too salty). Go somewhere else for Rib Steak. Excellent wine selection. Wait staff was self congratulatory and tried to be more than they are. Prices were high- expect to pay at least $60 per person for three courses and wine.

Troquet has the most interesting wine list in Boston. It has something for everyone--some outstanding and expensive wines, but not as expensive as elsewhere. Also, some medium priced wines that are very good. Chris, the owner, is extremely knowledgeable and always has interesting recomendaions. Or you can choose the wine pairing with the food for a good combination. The food is also excellent and has improved recently. I had an excellent frisee salad and outstanding halibut for a great dinner experience.
