Ron Francis, with Mercantile Bank , has been our banker since 1980 and we ve followed him through three different banks. He s honest and thoughtful and what all the bank ads refer to when they talk about personal bankers. Unfortunately in this age of mega-banking, Ron is something of a dying breed. We ve been there three times in the last couple of years and the food was wonderful. Lala Rokh Restaurant - Boston Lala Rokh is a Persian restaurant on Mt. Vernon Street in the Beacon Hill District.
Persian food is somewhere between Lebanese food and the food of India.
Needless to say, the food at Lala Rokh is wonderful. The second night we canceled reservations at a four-star restaurant just to go back. Like most really good Chinese restaurants, this one is hard to find. Lucky for me, I stumbled into the Hang Ah by accident 15 years ago. It s back up its own little alley above a playground.
