I need the restaurant of a lifetime...both food and athmosphere
Yes I will...I am leaning towards arrows, but the fact that I am up there at the same time as lydia...is tempting, although the post dont seem all that great on here regarding blue sky....so maybe that means I am off to arrows

You are all going to kill me BUT I was telling my friend about my plans and he thought it was the cutiest thing and he just offered me his house for the weekend in Ogunquit....so looks like I am doing a 180 and heading north. I feel like a traitor to my boston posters...but what am I to do, he has the most amazing and romatic house in Ogunquit! So no it looks like I may do Arrows afterall...also looking at Blue Sky (because Lydia Shire has always had my heart, even though it is not all that romantic...but have never been) and maybe save the romance part for the house and set up a table outside with candles and champaign and do dessert in the garden of the house...(that was my friends suggestion..I am not that crafty)

Of course I am still checking...have not gotten this night out of my mind...
Just as an update I have 2 reservations made. One I have at No.9 Park and the other I have at Upstairs on the Square. I am leaning No.9...but Upstairs is comming in a strong second for a couple factors...1) While I know it is not the ultimate WOW factor, the restaurant is fun, bright, lively, romantic but not too romantic (for a gay male 29/32 year old couple) 2) I think it could be romantic first to maybe grab a drink at one fo the other upscale restaurants over in Harvard Square (I need some suggestions on that...Noir, Rialto....) and then take a walk before dinner through the Harvard Yard and then off to dinner and 3) I was thinking we could grab take out dessert at the HS Finale and then walk right over to the Weeks Bridge and either eat our dessert on the bridge or on one of the benches at the foot of the bridge. So that would be the game plan for that senerio. I have also made a reservation at The Charles Hotel...thinking that if we are going to be over there I do not want to ruin the moment by having to car/cab it back to the 4seaons...Plus I was thinking that we could wake up in the morning a bit late and go to brunch at Henriettas Table...which is always amazing. If I stick with No.9...I was thinking we could go grab a drink first at the bristol and then go to No. 9 Park but then kinda stuck on what to do after...at that point it will be dark and the commons are not so pretty with all the homeless at the hour....
So what is everyone's vote?

I am sooo torn on No.9 because i work on Beacon hill and have to walk past No.9 to and from work everyday and even though I know it is something incredibly special, I quess because I see it SOOOO much i just dont look at it as special..if that makes any sense....

I mean Hip in that Mistral actually has a fairly large young (27-33) gay male crowd that goes there...but yes, I know what you mean...I love O Ya but just not romantic enough....

Oh how i would love to head to another state, but kinda stuck in boston because of other plans (hotel reservations at four seasons and a return to one of our early date spots, the weeks bridge over the charles river near harvard)

ok...Arrows would bring a tear to my eye (not that that is a bad thing). but unfortunately I already have the hotel booked (Four Seasons) and I want to take him back to the bridge that we stood on during one of our first dates (The John Weeks footbridge over the Charles River down near harvard) so I am kind of stuck in Boston. But now that you mention Arrows...has anyone been to Winter Summer? i know I looked at their menu once and it looked amazing. Not sure how much time Mark and Clark spend there...also not sure how the atmoshepe is seeing how it is in the Burlington Marriot...but must be decent...right?

OK...so here is my problem. I have been seeing this guy for about a month now here in boston and I have completely fallen for him...in that one true love/the one you always wished would come along kind of way. The only problem is that he lives in Texas and is only in Boston till the end of July on his Masters Program internship. He is 32, I am 29 (and if you must know, we are gay)....anyways I have a very special night planned for July 18th...pulling out all the stops...only thing I am missing is dinner. I am stuck. I am looking to go somewhere amazing. I had an initial idea of going to Uni for cocktails and apps and then to Clio for dinner. Then I was thinking L'espalier for the 4-course menu. Then I thought maybe Mistral because it is a tad more hip. (Not that I need hip, dont let our age made u think we need see and be seen hotspot) Needless to say I am stuck. I have eaten at pretty much every restaurant in boston (for real) but knowing that I can tend to be snobbish I was wondering what others thought would be the most idyllic/romantic/uniquely sublime restaurant to take the guy of my dreams out to for our last dinner together here in town.
Sidenote: We have not discussed where this very new relationship is going to go once he moves back to Texas, and I know what restaurant I take him to is not going to matter in deciding that outcome but if it goes how I would like...I want to be able to look back and tell my grandchildren how I won over their grandfather in a storybook kind of way on this night back on July 18, 2008
Sidenote 2: We both like all kinds of food. I have brought him to B&G, Stella, Union, Myers+Chang, Davios, Bricco, Mare and Casa Romero and he has liked them all.
So how can u help me ????????
