Reasonably-priced suburban restaurant: Daikanyama for sushi
Splurge-y suburban restaurant: Salts or Blue Ginger

Ethnic restaurant: Some of the ones above are ethnic, but in addition to those, O Ya is great but $$$$$, Elephant Walk, Little India in Waltham, Biagio for Italian...I could go on forever!
Ice cream place: Cabot's or Richardson's

Other?: Chow Thai in Charlestown is super as well! And of course, the North End is great- I like La Fam and L'Osteria.

Other?: n/a

We were so disappointed in Tasca. Maybe we went on a bad night, but the service was horrible, the food was just OK, and the sangria was very blah. Totally a bummer as we went for DH's birthday and my whole family was celebrating with us.
Reasonably-priced Boston restaurant: Teatro
Splurge-y Boston restaurant: Ruth's Chris
Reasonably-priced suburban restaurant: Casa Blanca
Splurge-y suburban restaurant: Capital Grille in Burlington
Cheap/Dive restaurant: Zuma's
Ethnic restaurant: Feng Shui
Ice cream place: Great Brook
Bar: hmmm...I don't really go to bars anymore
Other?: Another couple of local nice restaurants are Moonstones and Cast Iron Kitchen
I'm sorry to hear that! Nothing worse than getting all excited about a new place and having a bad experience. Most of the time I've had a great time there, but I've had a bad meal or two as well. If you ever decide to try it again, my friends and I usually get the peach sangria instead of the regular. Maybe that'll improve things
