You can't go wrong with a $100 Gift Certificate to Troquet on Boylston Street in Boston.

Boston's most exciting and comprehensive wine list cannot be found at a steakhouse or in a hotel; it's at Troquet, where cutting edge cuisine and a killer view of the Boston Common act as accompaniments to an evening guaranteed to fulfill any wine connoisseur's fantasies.

The comfortable, lively second floor dining room so encourages diners to embrace the grape, that the format of its seasonal menu features by-the-glass wine recommendations printed below each dish. Owner Chris Campbell and his staff amiably discuss pairings for the informed and the indecisive alike, and wines come to the table in their optimum, sparkling glassware.

After feasting of Chef Scott Hebert's suckling pig, New England seafood or farm-raised duckling, Troquet's incredible and acclaimed cheese cart appears, but indulge judiciously, as Troquet's menu of plated desserts follows, and diners may find its 12 extravagant temptations to be an essential indulgence. The whole place spins smoothly while working hard to make your evening out a memorable kaleidoscope of food, drink, service and ambiance. Reservations. Full bar. Valet parking. Dinner only served from 5:30 p.m. Tuesday thru Saturday. Lower level Le Patissier café open til 11 p.m.
