Thanks for the tips... I think the birthday dinner will be "Coppa" and we'll sit down and figure out the other places :)
Thanks again!

We're staying in the Cambridge neighbourhood, but that doesn't really matter as we're willing to travel. Not a huge fan of Italian... We've been to and loved Avec, Black Bird, Moto (Chicago), WD50 & Momofuku (NYC) sort of thing... not huge fan of prix fixe "sit down stuffy"... perhaps a tasting menu? What are people's thoughts on "restaurant week"?
1 week in the city
Hi Boston Chowhounders,
I am coming to Boston with my partner for a week starting Friday next week. We're staying in an apartment so will not be going out for all meals. What are some good dining places? We like original creative dishes (my birthday dinner out). Is restaurant week a good deal? In the city we're from we do something similar, however, most restaurants begrudge doing it and service is often surely!
Thanks in advance for your tips :)
Glow: Fresh Grill & Wine Bar at Don Mills
My BF and I went to Glow as we were exploring the new shops at Don Mills.
Our experience was so bad that it was hilarious. We ordered 2 glasses of sparkling and the server poured them at our table into thoes little measuring vases before pouring them into the glasses...and we all know what happens when you pour sparkling too fast...needless to say more wine ended up being wasted through this whole process and our table was covered in sparkling...
Next we ordered the meals (we both had sandwhiches) the bread is REALLY tough (must be all the grains) and the plates are so small...so you can imagine trying to cut the food with a butter knife on a tiny china plate on a slippery table...
Anyway the wine selection by the glass was sub-par, especially since they call themselves a wine bar and the food was boring...especially the desserts that look like pudding in shot glasses....I wouldn't go back or recommend.
Best bet is to go to McEwan - just try all the samples...boom, there's your lunch! ;)

Going to Ame tonight - any recs?
Don't even think about ordering the cocktails. They are TERRIBLE...however, the chocolat dessert is to die for!
Rob is an amazing pastry chef.
Leslieville - again!
My food gf asked me to pick a spot in leslieville for dinner. I know she likes places such as C5, Splendido, Loire, Colborne lane etc....recommendations would be more than appreciated!
