Take A Trip to Chestnut Hill For Dinner, Shopping

Check out the latest "Great Escape" column.

If you can get out of the house before the corporate crew hits the roads, make your way down to Chestnut Hill. Aquitaine Bis’ 3-course meal “Beat The Rush” will reward you for your early efforts. Located on 11 Boylston St., this restaurant is the creation of Boston native Matthew Burns and former Wall Street suit turned renowned chef Seth Woods.

From 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Sunday’s through Wednesday they package up menu favorites like parsnips with truffle oil, butternut squash ravioli with chanterelle mushrooms, and pan roasted natural chicken made with the heated Portuguese wine Madeira for $29.95. You will also get a glass of wine, and top it off with dessert.

Afterwards stop by the Chestnut Hills Macy’s to take advantage of their discounted items. The store is closing and will need to clear out the space by the end of winter — their misfortune is your gain.
