Zank's Profile
Turner, Great Bay, Legal, or Skipjack's
Since Atlantic Fish is closed, where should a quintet of out-of-towners head for a straight-up NE seafood meal tomorrow evening -- no chance at B&G on short notice, Neptune is out of the question b/c we want a reservation. Have a res at Park Sq. Legal but am not hearing good things -- didn't expect much to begin with, but it seems that LS is pretty inconsistent and might be a nightmare on a Sat. eve despite the res. Started leaning toward Turner, but am concerned about a bland ambience -- can't tell from web site. Great Bay sounds great, but might be a little too inspired and creative for our traditional cravings rather than fusion, etc. Thanks!

One question -- has Legal really slipped or is it still reliable as long as we play it safe? We want to have a fun seafood meal of the chowder and fried clams variety, but want to stick to the Back Bay area more or less since we will have just arrived earlier that afternoon. I'd consider going elsewhere, but not sure what the options are other than Summer Shack which I did not enjoy a few years ago.

Thanks so much for the recs. In answer to your question, our son is extraordinarily good in restaurants and is used to going out -- we got lucky with him as he is just so easy and calm. We are Brooklynites and he has been out and about since Day One so we don't seek out the TGIF scene in deference to his needs, rather we try and go to great places where there will be something he can eat and where we won't get a ton of frost upon entry. Hope that adds up!

Hello All -
Looking for some recs for a 3 night trip to Boston this weekend (Sat - Tues) with my wife, toddler, and in-laws. We are looking for family-friendly dining (no attitude), but not at the expense of missing out on good food! We love B&G and Butcher Shop, Sage, and Neptune to give you an idea of our tastes to a small extent. We are staying at the Eliot on Comm and Mass. Shooting for early dinners at 6 - 6:30. No res thus far. Prob heading to Legal on night one to make things easy after a travel day. Here is a short list of contenders for lunch/dinner -- please share your thoughts. Also, any recs for lunch near the Children;s Museum, Aquarium, and Christian Science Center are welcomed and appreciated. Will also spend an afternoon in Cambridge (maybe a dinner, too) and some time in the S. End, in addition to the usual susects -- many thanks!
