Asana - Boston Restaurants - Boston, United States

Previous Next

Overview

Asana has two key things going for it: an unbeatable location in the heart of Back Bay inside the Five-Star Mandarin Oriental, Boston (with floor-to-ceiling windows to match) and a streamlined, contemporary American menu loaded with flavorful, lightly sauced seafood. Ingredients include local seafood to make memorable dishes like black cod, with shiitake and bacon dashi, fall vegetables, green onion, sesame-chili kale crisps, and sashimi of Nantucket Bay scallops, with pomegranate. For a unique experience, reserve the 10-seat chef’s table, a glass enclosed space that lets you observe the action in the kitchen.

Where is Asana located?

Occupying one of the trendiest addresses in Boston, Asana graces the first floor of the Mandarin Oriental Boston at 776 Boylston St. The fine dining restaurant shares space with Mandarin Oriental’s stylish M Bar & Lounge but is set off from the bar in a more intimate setting. Dining at Asana is almost like eating in a fishbowl, especially if you’re seated along one of the prime spots against the windows that overlook Boylston Street. The floor-to-ceiling windows provide guests with perfect views of bustling Boston street but also allow others to peak in. Still, the restaurant’s prime location is one where diners go to see-and-be-seen.
