Overheard on the Boston Boards

"I'm surprised by how few people know about Symphony Café, located in Symphony Hall. The food is catered by Jules Catering (currently) and is served buffet style. Compared to what's proximitous to the hall, food is decent and can't beat convenience." - PainterGirl on where to eat before a symphony performance

"The coconut cream pie at Myers + Chang is perhaps the best I've ever had- wonderful essence of coconut with a zing of lime, with chantilly cream on top. And even though it's served at a restaurant, I often get pieces to go. It's that good." - Scruffy The Cat

"Highlight for me was the dessert ... a salty caramel cheesecake that was preposterous. Big crystals of salt (Maldon Sea Salt?) cut the sweetness and the creaminess of the cheesecake and pulled the whole thing together for me. I never rave about dessert but this was outstanding. The pastry chef was enjoying a post-shift beverage and I raved at him like the complete nutter I am." - yumyum on dessert at Gargoyles on the Square

  • I have a gift certificate to Gargoyle's. I've never been. What do you recommend, in addition to the caramel cheesecake?

  • Listen to yumyum, she knows.
