Any suggestions for a moderately priced ($25-$30 entrees) restaurant with pleasant atmosphere in Cambridge or Boston for a small graduation party of 6 people.

I'm looking for a quiet place, medium-priced on the UWS. Around 86th St. would be best. Maybe Italian, but not necessarily.

What is the best restaurant, period, in New York?

For my 10th anniversary I want to take my wife out for a spectacular tasting menu with wine pairings. Cost is (almost) no object.
