Restaurant Help

I am on restaurants.com looking around for some good restaurants to try out. Any recommendations? I am not looking in an certain area of MA or NH because my family and friends live all over. Thanks

  • What kind of food do you like? 
  • All food, I am not to picky!

  • I like the Elephant Walk, but only the location in Cambridge.

    If Fiorella certificates are available, that's worth it too (though they usually have annoying date restrictions, i.e. no Fridays or Saturdays I think).

    I'd rather be rock climbing or playing volleyball

  • We used to live a hop, skip, and a jump away from Tangerino. It is Moroccan food and has a very neat atmosphere. They do have valet parking in case the streets are crowded (and they usually are).

    I also loved EVOO in Somerville on the Cambridge line. I am going there for a dinner meeting when I'm up for business in a few weeks.

  • Venetian Moon in Reading is great! It's this cute little trendy Italian place - their food is great - they have tapas and full meals - and they have great martini's and cosmos too. Not sure if they are on restaurants.com, but if they are you should def try them out.

  • Two places come to mind.  Porcini's (not tied to the one in Boston) in Watertown on School street is awesome!!  Its a bit pricey (entrees run about $17-$25 and specials can be higher at times).  But its worth the investment.  I use to waitress there but had to give it up since I moved to the south shore, but I was always proud to serve all the food they made.  I don't think I have had a time when I would say "I wouldn't order that".  Its more of a neighborhood secret, but was recognized on phantom gourmet for Great Ates for their Risotto.  I highly recommend you try them out.  In the summer you can sit out back in their hidden patio - really nice.

     The 2nd place we saw on the phantom gourmet and checked out this weekend on the way home from my UNH homcoming weekend.  Its called the Friendly Toast in Portsmouth.  EXCELLENT breakfast food.  My husband said the eggs benedict was probably the best he's ever had.  I had Caribbean Waffle (pecans and camalized bananas) and homefries to die for. There was a bit of a wait, but so worth it. Its a big place so you shouldn't have to wait more than 30 mins.

  • Not sure of your price range, but Pops in the South End is really fun and not too pricey for that area.  It is near a lot of cool restaurants - so you can go have a glass of wine before or after at The Butcher Shop or some other cool spot.  (The Butcher Shop has AWESOME food, but is pricier than Pops)
