Great meal at Rendezvous
you are talking about my favorite restaurant. If I could afford it. I'd eat there every night.
Steve Johnson.owner/chef is so personable. I see him every Monday, in season , at out local farmers' market. In summer he grows his herbs on the roof. Recently, The NY Times did a feature story about him, showing him on his boat in Westport where he catches seafood for his restaurant. He is one of the few great local chefs who is really hands on and always
there for his customers and he doesn't seek publicity..
Now you know what to give me for christmas :)

Great food in Harvard Square?
Henrietta's table at the Charles Hotel,
Legal seafoods , same location,
Sandrine's the French Alsacian resto,
Oleana - yo, that's some good cookin'
It's always good and it has the most attractive out door dining. If it's cool, there are heater lights and offer lap blankets.
Stephanie's taking over Garden of Eden spot
well, if Stephanie is taking over that spot. she'd better improve her food. The fireplace, patio,
tourists keep her going. I hope the Southend diners don't put up with her medicore food.
La Voile
They are now open for lunch. We had the Provençal salad and a bottle of Rosé as we sat outside. There were a few tables that had childen, well behaved, seated and one in a carriage
EVOO Somerville - what do you think?
I'd like to know too. Rachael Ray has ruined the name for me.
Petit Robert this past weekend
I prefer the South End branch where the tables aren't so close together and that the waitor doesn't bump into yourc, and it's delightful dining outside in summer.
Dog-Friendly/Outdoor-Dining
most of the outdoor cafés on Newbury and Boylstons sts will let you bring your dog but tied beside you on something
provence/cote d'azur restaurant suggestions
The only great restaurant in Aix is Le Closerie de la Violette.
On the Edge of Gordes is Les Imbrts. I love dining in the beautiful garden of the Mas De Touteron.
Le Pamphlet or Chez Denise?
Le Pamplet was closed when I was there but I loved Chez Denise and it's like acommunal table. I was tucked between two French couples and we all had a long conversation
Oleana - is it everything they say it is?
I think it is!! When it's chilly the heaters are on and they give the ladies lap blankets if they want.

Garden in the cellar-Cambridge
After the Harvard yard farmers'market we stopped for lunch. We had crab cakes and a chevre salad. This week's Phoenix gives their dinners a wonderful review. Can't wait to return. It's run by the son of the farmer of Gilson farms who sells his herbs at many of the farmers'markets.
60th Birthday Dinner in Cambridge
You must be there at 5:30 opening to get a table outside at Oleana. I'm adding Upstairs at the Square, known as Upstairs at the Pudding in its former location.
