SIMPLY WONDERFUL
The tender beef short ribs and scrumptious rigatoni Bolognese that emerge from Jeff Fournier's kitchen at 51 Lincoln in Newton Highlands would be enough to make you swoon. But then there's dessert: kumquat and pear pie. The service is both friendly and attentive without being overbearing. And Fournier's artistic influence even reaches the dining room walls, which showcase his abstract paintings. 51 Lincoln, 51 Lincoln Street, Newton, 617-965-3100, 51lincolnnewton.com
