Brunch in/near the Theater District?
I looked at Marliave actually.. I've never been but it sounds like a good opportunity to check it out, and the menu is small but looks good! Thanks!
Brunch in/near the Theater District?
Going to see a matinee show on Saturday and wondering if there was anywhere good for brunch in the Theater District area ?
$1 Tacos at Bonfire?
Has anyone been to check out the $1 Taco Thursdays at Bonfire (served in the bar area)? I'm going to check it out tonight and am curious about what I will find!
Where to buy tortilla shells?
I'm looking to find some good tortilla shells.. something better than what you find in the international food aisles at the grocery stores. Any suggestions ? Preferably something in the Somerville area..
Sorrelina vs. Grill 23
Thanks so much everyone! I think I'm going to go with Sorrelina. Maybe once the "surprise" is over I'll ask him for his opinion of Grill 23 (for future occasions) but it sounds like we will both enjoy Sorrelina for this one. He loves tuna tartar too so I'll be sure to recommend that to him.
Minibar looks like a great suggestion for a pre-dinner drink too.
Thanks again!
Sorrelina vs. Grill 23
Ha, so Abe & Louies is HIS favorite but he's been there several times so I figured I should take him somewhere new/different.. So it sounds like if he loves Abe & Louie's then Grill 23 could be a let down.. ?
Sorrelina vs. Grill 23
I am taking my boyfriend out to dinner for his birthday next week and he's left it up to me to choose the restaurant- usually he makes these decisions! My initial thoughts were to take him somewhere he's never been (he loves trying new places) and to take him to a steakhouse (he loves steak but typically doesn't suggest steakhouses because I'm not a steak eater.)
After searching on the boards here and asking around, I had decided on Grill 23 and made a reservation there, but then found out that he has actually been there before (though not recently) so I was having second thoughts.
He's been talking about trying Sorrelina quite a bit, and I've heard good things too. My only concern is that he had planned to take me to Sorrelina for a different occasion a couple of months ago, but waited too long to make a reservation, so I feel like it's stealing his idea rather than thinking of somewhere new! And, it's not a steakhouse which was my original idea.
So.. now I'm stuck between Grill 23 or Sorrelina. I have reservations at both and am trying to decide if it's better to do a steakhouse he's been to before, or a place he hasn't been but won't be a great surprise either. I'm looking for input on which will be an overall better experience-- food, atmosphere, etc. I'd also welcome a few more suggestions though I'm running out of time to make a new reservation. I'd considered Mooo or Bonfire (two steakhouses I know he's never been to)...
Also, it would be helpful if you have any suggested dishes to try at these places, and suggestions for a pre-dinner drink.
Thanks so much!
Restaurants with Banquet Rooms for Company Party
Thanks! Looks nice... I just sent an inquiry for available dates.
Restaurants with Banquet Rooms for Company Party
Full dinner-- we've done both buffet style and served meals. Typically we'd do a cocktail hour first and then dinner.
Restaurants with Banquet Rooms for Company Party
Hi,
I'm looking to book a banquet room at a restaurant for about 50 people for a company holiday party. Preferrably in the city, though open to places in surrounding towns (public transportation available). Any suggestions?
Nachos, anyone?
I agree that Sunset Grill & Tap's nachos with the BBQ chicken are awesome. Huge portions too.
Another favorite is Kinsale (Govt. Center) where you can substitute their spinach and artichoke dip for the chili which is poured on top under the cheese. Multi colored chips, a scoop of sour cream and guacamole come on top, salsa on the side. Consistency is sometimes an issue (broken chips, not enough topping) but when they're on, they're great!
Also a big fan of the nachos at Beerworks. Get them with the chicken. The cheese is distributed all throughout the nachos instead of just on top.
I've also recently discovered the nachos at Rock Bottom which are covered in refried beans under the other toppings. The salsa is sub-par and you have to request sour cream on the side, but the nachos themselves are pretty good...probably my favorite of the chain pub-type restaurants.
For something different, try Christopher's in Porter Square. They have some unique options including Yuppie Nachos (with sun dried tomatoes and goat cheese). Only had them once but they were delicious!
