One neighborhood`s loss is another`s gain. At least that was the case when Cambridge lost the venerable Anago Bistro to the city across the river. Now settled in Boston`s Lenox Hotel under the name Anago, the snug neighborhood spot is now a glamorous, big-city gal. The menu offers entrees ranging from hearty comfort food to exquisite presentations of smoked sturgeon with caviar. Sweet toothed-diners, take note: save room for dessert, particularly one appropriately named "Chocolate, chocolate, chocolate."
Located in the historic Lenox Hotel, this fine dining restaurant offers guests an eclectic American cuisine. Expect the average entrée to cost over $20.
