EVOO entices diners out of winter hibernation with a weekend prix fixe. Available on Friday and Saturday nights, Peter McCarthy’s three-course menu costs $42 per person (or $67 paired with wines) and it’s well worth braving the elements for. Dishes like country pate, pumpkin enchiladas and chocolate truffle cake will see you through the darkest days of winter and right on through ‘til spring. Just call 617.661.3866 for your table.
