We should resurrect the south of Boston GTG idea

I just watched Phantom Gourmet so I've got restaurants I want to visit on the brain. I'm looking for an excuse to go to any of the following places:

Yard House in Dedham (I went when I was KU and barely ate because I didn't feel good)- American, pub

Tavolino in Foxboro (Same story as Yard House)- pizza

Wicked in Dedham- pizza

Jalepenos in Walpole- Mexican

Bamboo in Dedham- Chinese, Japanese and sushi

OK. Any other suggestions? Like Braintree... The only restaurants I know in Braintree are Cheesecake and Rock Bottom. I think I should eat lunch... it'll help me to stop thinking about food.

Re: We should resurrect the south of Boston GTG idea

  • Rock Bottom has been gone for a while now -- sad -- but there's a new Japanese steakhouse in its place!  We also have Joe's American Bar & Grille, TGIFridays, Chili's and Chateau...

    I could go for anywhere in Dedham though... I've been to the YardHouse only for apps and they were awesome.

  • Haha, well you can tell it has been quite a while since I've been to the area!

    Hmm... The Chateau has great chicken parmesan and good bread, I've been to the one in Norwood. Oh, and they same owners opened up an American restaurant called Jake and Joe's in Norwood and I've heard it's great.

    I hear the Yard House is always packed, so if there's a lot of interest then they might not even have room for us... I don't know about weeknights there, though.

  • I would do Dedham but Walpole and Braintree are kind of a pain.  But I'd only be able to do that on a weekend and I know we usually do weekday GTGs.  So, basically, don't base anything on me but I'll come if I can once you guys set something up!

    And the other GTG seems to have died on the vine again.  The Nestie who started that thread didn't follow through.  I think I'll feel more motivated to organize once the weather's nicer.

  • I'm not opposed to a Sunday evening GTG?
  • I wanna come *whine whine whine*

    How about maybe next time I am up there on bidness? Maybe Rock and I can meet up and come together since I am carless when there. 

     

  • I want you to come!! When are you coming up again?
  • I love the idea of Braintree!

    The CF is awesome! :D

    Me too! (Usually)

    For sure the second week of June. Likely the first-ish week of May but bosslady hasn't confirmed that yet.

    Ok, well, since Rock can't come to Dedham on a weekday, we should plan a Newton GTG when you are!

    Okeeee!!!

  • I veto the Cheesecake Factory idea.  Or, at least, if you plan one there I won't be coming.  The last time we had a GTG at a CF we ended up waiting something like an hour for a table even though we had a reservation.  We swore never again after that (though we did get a bunch of free apps out of it).

    I'm down for a Sunday night though.

    And I'm definitely in for a Newton GTG next time Punky's in town.  Hopefully I'll have my own car back by then!

  • Just to butt in - my company does some of our outings at Kings Bowling, in the same plaza at the Yard House in Dedham...so usually it's Kings -------> Yard House and both have been great.

    Sorry, that was me. Life has gotten kinda hectic the past couple of weeks and I haven't had any free time to check into any places yet. If someone else would be willing to plan, I'd love to come and I would be more than willing to reciprocate once things in my life slow down. Again, so sorry!

  • I'm pretty much up for anything, I'll find a way to make it work.  I've been to the Yard House 2 times now, and the food is yummy and the beer selection is huge.  Decent prices too!  Depends on how many of us come, but their booths are really big.  They put me & DH in one and we had room for probably 10 more people.
  • Oh no. I don't *do* cheesecake factory. Rock is right, the last time we went there for a GTG it was ridic!

    There is a good chinese place in Newton...what is the name of it....someone? Anyone?

    That's OK, it happens.  Not like I'm the one making any plans either so who am I to complain? :)

  • I could do a Sunday night! Dedham is fine for me (actually any other places you first mentioned along that 95/Rt.1 corridor) I was just at the Yard House a couple of weeks ago - it was packed and we got there early. It was a Saturday night though...I can't imagine Sunday nights are that crazy.

  • Who considers Dedham south of Boston?

    It might be south on the map but 'IRL,' it's west.

    LOL

    You are sad, and all of your responses are meaningless.
