Where should we eat near BU?
Victoria's right next to Brown Sugar is a must for Chinese. Inexpensive and delicious.

Biltmore Newton? Why can't they just be nice?
Couldn’t disagree more. I went this past Saturday for dinner with my wife and our two small children, both who are under the age of 3. The wait staff and host were very friendly and helpful. Other waitresses even came by to say hi to our children. The food was delicious, much better than we were expecting. My wife was craving “pub food” and found this place so we were going in blind with minimum expectations. My wife had the fried chicken and waffles. The chicken was moist and very good. I had the bourbon tips, which were also delicious. For appetizers we had the hog wings and wrapped scallops. The entry sizes were fine but the apps were a little small and the chips instead of bread was a plus because the made my 2.5 year old son happy.
Perhaps they have heard the complaints and made adjustments? Or perhaps, now that I’m dining with two small children my expectations are lower. Probably a little of both but I work in needham and will definitely get my lunch crew to add this place to our list plus I could see us going back there for dinner.

Asian / Chinese Restaurant for Rehearsal Dinner?
I had my rehearsal dinner at East Ocean city about 5 years ago and it was fantasic. My wife, who is Taiwanese, pre-ordered our food based on having a large group of people. I beleive there are a few options if you do it this way. Since we had a mix of american and taiwanese people, she was able to order with enough variety so everyone was happy and i don't think the price was over $20 per person, including a few bottles of wine. Great time and everyone left happy and full. We had about about 25 people and were spread out over three tables.

North Wilmington Take Out Restaurant Recommendations?
I've been in wilmington for about two years and here is what i have found. I'm closer to the burlington side. I don't have all of the addresses but you should be able to google them.
Micheal's place has decent pizza and fried food. Cash Only
Golden Ginger accross from the wilmington plaza has good sushi and chinese and is nice inside if you what to dine in.
The Big One is a small Thai takeout place that is not bad.
There is another pizza place on RT62 near the 93 interchange that has good pizza. I can't remember the name but it was on the other side of the road from the RMV and closer to 93.
Also, Kendra & Anthony's is an upscale pizza joint across from Wilmington plaza. I think its a little over priced for what they serve.
Be careful of some of the other chinese restaurants. A lot of them look like greasy, americanized versions of chinese. I tend to just bomb into chinatown for takeout.
waltham restaurants
Fulcinateys (sp) was always my go to spot for sandwiches while i lived and worked in Waltham. Limited choices but fresh and reasonable prices.
New BBQ in Bedford!!!
I had a similar experience there about two months ago with my wife and son. The food was beyond bad and we'll never go back
