ECLECTIC CAFÉ ESCADRILLE This fine restaurant Français doles out provincial Chateaubriand, Bouillabaisse Royal, and Lobster Louis IV with tip-top taste. Inspired by the Lafayette Escadrille—a squadron of volunteer fighter pilots who fought by day and appreciated fine foods and drink at night—Robert Murray's tribute establishment continues with the same spirit. Perhaps most impressive is its capacious wine list, chosen from among the best and unique vineyards of the world. Even the most discriminating oenophiles will find something to love at the famous Mohogany Bar. • 26 Cambridge Street, Burlington, 01803, (781) 2731916.
