Romantic Eventide is all about the atmosphere

These days, when you hear the word “comfort” associated with a restaurant, it’s typically in reference to meat loaf, mac ‘n’ cheese or some other comfort food. But at the new Eventide restaurant in Clarendon, management appears to have thought long and hard about what it means to sit down and have a truly comfortable dining experience.

Crowds at the bar are restricted; tables in the dining room are spaced far enough apart that you’re not eavesdropping on your neighbors; the plush booths even have a little “gate” that reminded me of what you’d find on an amusement park ride.
