The Salmon at Back Bay Bistro is a must!
With an extensive list of 74 participating restaurants this year, you’re bound to come across some of our favorites. In the past, we’ve visited Farmhouse, Back Bay Bistro, Five Crowns, and Harborside Restaurant just to name a few. Back Bay Bistro will feature their delicious King Salmon as a main course on the dinner menu again this year. I am still trying to decide which new restaurants I should visit this year!
