    Fin Point is a very nice restaurant located at the Dagny Hotel in Boston; we were in town for Christmas and wound up at Fin Point nearly every night because we loved the atmosphere and food. Most of the meals are somewhat pricey (although probably not when compared to other Boston dining establishments) but the restaurant does offer flatbreads, salads, soups and appetizers if the entrees seem a bit expensive. However, the food is worth the cost! We had the meatball and ricotta flatbread twice because we loved it so much, and both the ravioli and bolognese were excellent. We were also pleased to note that there was a good draft beer selection. As the restaurant was decorated for the holidays it was was extremely cozy and that's one of the main reasons we kept returning; the staff was another since everyone was pleasant and helpful. I would point anyone looking for a tasty meal and a comfortable atmospshere to Fin Point without hesistation.
