Week in Reviews

Corby Kummer explores La Brasa for his monthly Boston Magazine review, finding that it "will be a very nice restaurant when it decides what it wants to be when it grows up." While there is already "a surfeit of talent," there is also "a major lack of focus." Recommended dishes include the "stellar" roasted carrots with mole, the "mostly successful" grilled lamb liver, and the grilled peel-and-eat shrimp, "the kind of dish you wish friends would invite you over for."
