Thoughts on Banq?
how would you order differently if you don't remember what you ordered?
In boston today and tonight. Looking for great lunch & dinner eats
great sushi at a price - go to o ya. oishi is good also. go to the north end for italian, though i think stella does a nice job too.
House of Yum (?) Chang/Myers- opening?
went last night. go there. immediately. it was great. they really hit the nail right on the head. food, service, drinks, atmosphere. it was just terrific.
cafeTeria on Newbury? anyone been?
I recently went to Cafeteria for lunch and I would only recommend it to people I don't like. It was really lame. I found the decor to be a low-budget Stella rip off and it looked like it was slapped together in a hurry. I ate in the lower level as the upstairs doesn't appear to be open for business. My first introduction to the Caf was a basket of stale uneventful bread and a plate of olive-oil. Stale seemed to be the theme here. The kobe burger tastes like chuck burger and while it wasn't bad, the bun completely ruined it. Someone should tell the chef to slap a twist-tie on the bun bags overnight to keep them from going stale. When you order a martini, its nice to see the olives sunk in the bottom with out a toothpick holding them together. I'm not sure about you, but I love fishing through my drink with my fingers trying to grab my garnish. The calamari was very good, but for some strange reason we only got a quarter ramekin's worth of aoili (which was delicious). Also there was an excess of fried batter, reminded me of what you find at the bottom of any clam plate in New England. My friend's sandwich (chicken pannini) was also stale and a bit cold. It lacked flavor and the basil mayo seemed non-existent. I hate to be so negative, but I wouldn't want anyone else to waste their bucks.
