Default Dining in Boston

I'm making another trip to Boston soon to hang out with our recently departed EDF mod.

We're determined to not be lazy this time and to make reservations at a handful of great restaurants in the city.

Last year we went to Grill 23, which was great, albeit a little salty. Where else shall we go? I have read great things about Abe & Louie's so that seems like a must.

Default Re: Dining in Boston

in the non-steakhouse category:

Oleana (in Cambridge) (Mediterranean fusion)
No. 9 Park (Italian/French)
Troquet (French mostly)
Salts (in Cambridge) (American..the duck for 2 is amazing and will be cute on your date)
Petit Robert (French bistro)
B&G Oysters (Seafood)
Hamersleys (French)
Toro (Spanish)
East Coast Grill (in my hood in Cambridge, seafood, a step down from the others but it's a great place in my awesome neighborhood!)
Mooo is a cool new steakhouse/bar. I ate at the bar a couple weeks ago. it's not Abe & Louis, but if you are looking for a scene it's a bit cooler

Rialto (in Cambridge) (high end Italian)

Les Zygomates - French bistro

Recently went to Sibling Rivalry and enjoyed the meal there. It's got a gimmick - the head chefs are brothers. The menu is a list of ingredients with a dish by each highlighting the ingredients. Good food.

I second the Helmand.

East Coast Grill isn't bad -- if I'm remembering correctly, they're next to All-Star Sandwich, which is a fantastic little place to get lunch.

Also, I like the Eastern Standard.

I'd highly recommend a small Italian place near fenway "Toscana Trattoria", reasonably priced and the food is awesome

B&G Oysters for high-end seafood

Dali for tapas (the food is very good, the atmosphere is a ton of fun)

The Oak Room for a great meal at an exorbitant price

If you like sushi, then Oishii Sushi Bar is the best restaurant I have ever been to.

Excelsior!

or Mamma Maria in the North End for Italian.

Olives in Charlestown was the best meal I had in 4 years in Boston, though.

Mamma Maria is great, I bet Daryn has been there. Excelsior is very expensive and not that great

Nice one guys, keep it coming. The more you write about these places the better. Any more steak recommendations?
