The team behind Beacon Hill’s 75 Chestnut has created a new place set against the twinkling lights of the harbor. You open the front door of 75 on Liberty Wharf and realize just how small it is: fewer than a dozen tables seating about 60, with the same number on the deck. Entrees are simple favorites prepared with skill. Fillet of cod is moist below a crisp sear, topped with a citrus butter sauce. Wild salmon (pictured) is accompanied by lentils and vegetables. — Dan Zedek
