Forbes Travel Guide's Five-Star Picks Include Menton

Forbes Travel Guide (formerly Mobil Travel Guide) has just made its picks for five-star and four-star restaurants, hotels, and spas in the United States and beyond, and a high-end dining spot in the Fort Point neighborhood of Boston is the only eatery in the city to be awarded five stars.

According to MarketWatch and Startle.com (the new interactive site of Forbes Travel Guide), Barbara Lynch's Menton on Congress Street was given five stars in the guide's 54th annual listing of top restaurants, hotels and spas worldwide, making it one of only 25 restaurants in 2012 to receive such a high rating. Several other Boston dining spots received four stars, including Asana, Clio, L'Espalier, Meritage, and No. 9 Park. Rialto in Cambridge, Toppers in Nantucket, and Twenty-Eight Atlantic in Chatham also received four stars in the latest guide.

The 2012 winners include 25 restaurants, 57 hotels, and 30 spas among the five-star picks, and 146 restaurants, 177 hotels, and 103 spas among the four-star picks.
