Gargoyle's.
Somerville now has two of Boston's outstanding restaurants: the Elephant Walk and this newcomer to Davis Square. Small but elegant, Gargoyle's showcases the culinary virtuosity of Neil Palmer, a former chef from Aujord'Hui (the Four Seasons) who launches into Alsatian and New American cuisine with balance, brilliance and depth. Despite being the most expensive restaurant in Somerville, Gargoyle's convenient location and exuberant reviews make for long waits during peak hours, so arrive early or call for reservations (3 or more only). Closed Mondays. Full bar/wine list. (2/99)
