Like a pearl tucked in the Hotel Commonwealth in recently revitalized Kenmore Square, Great Bay is the third award-winning restaurant from the creative minds behind Boston favorites, Radius and Via Matta.

The restaurant’s two dining rooms are full of modern whimsy, decorated with the delicacy and infinite coloration of the sea. The interplay of light, fabric, motion, and the arching interior ceiling feel like a trip inside a giant sea creature.

The menus at Great Bay change daily but they always feature immaculate seafood, tender cuts of meat, organic vegetables and imaginative accompaniments.
