Restaurant Louis, attached to Louis Boston clothier

The courtyard dining area of Boston Public (formerly Restaurant L), attached to the prestigious Boston clothier, Louis Boston (800-225-5135), at the corner of Berkeley and Newbury streets, in the city's retail haven, the Back Bay. Louis carries very fine men's and women's threads, and the restaurant turns out haute, globally influenced fare at lunch and dinner. It's across the street from the gay-welcoming Church of the Covenant Boston, not far from Boston Common, and a relatively short walk from the South End.
