We've eaten at 80 Thoreau several times, so we were expecting an excellent meal, and we were not disappointed. The scallops small plate was exceptional. My wife had pappardelle with mushrooms and I had a bluefish dish, both of which were top notch. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our strawberry and rhubarb galette, but it was worth the wait.

80 Thoreau has interesting fancy food and a great bar. They keep an up to date menu on line, which helps us figure out how much trouble we’ll cause with our allergies. They are always accommodating, but it would be nice if they had dairy-free desert (other than sorbet) more often. They are one of the few date restaurants around here that are quiet. Not cheap, but in line with other restaurants on this level.
