My wife & I visited boston this week and had a taste for some Thai. After reading a few reviews on various sites, we decided to try the Brown Sugar Cafe. We were staying near Copley Square and decided to ride the T (subway) to the restaurant which is located near a T stop. The T ride cost us a little under $7 total for a round trip ride and the stop was literally less than 50 feet from the Brown Sugar Cafe's front door.
Upon entering we were quickly seated and given an EXPANSIVE menu with great descriptions of TONS of different, exciting dishes. There is something for everyone on this menu (assuming you like Thai food!). I settled on a simple soup appetizer and my wife got some sort of mimosa type pastry appetizers. Both arrived piping hot and were extremely flavorful.
For the main course my wife ordered a wonderful chicken dish which was served in a half pineapple and I ordered a fantastic spicy tender beef dish. Again, everything was piping hot (temperature) and tasty. The service was excellent all night and all food we ate was wonderfully fresh and hot.
The music was a little goofy for a Thai place. That night they were playing some sort of Celine Dion-esque stuff which didn't enhance the environment much, but this was easily overlooked in the face of the good food. Also, I've seen other reviews saying Brown Sugar is a good romantic date night. I think it's a better place to take friends. I only say this because it's not a very quiet place. The ceilings are high and there was a lot of talk bouncing through the room, giving it the feel of a very lively restaurant as opposed to an "intimate" restaurant.
Finally, the prices were very reasonable (our main courses were each around $14) and the portions were perfect.
Highly recommend.
Enjoy,

Pros: huge exciting menu, easily accessible from the T, fresh!
Cons: music was a little cheesy

This sushi place is the best I've tried so far. There's so much variety to choose from the menu. They've got great service. The line up can be long at times but it's quick. The staff is really friendly and accomodating. They always greet you with a pleasant smile. It's one of the best places in Boston. They even offer takeout and delivery. Sakurabana will always be a great choice.
Pros: menu, takeout,service
Cons: none

I love Al Dente. Seriously. I recommend this place to everyone, including the hot-shot execs at my office (a bank). It's one of the gems of the North End, I've been going there since I was a freshman in college (have since graduated). I've tried many other places but I just keep coming back. The service is always great, the food is top-notch and generously portioned (I love the home-made raviolis--the best you will find anywhere, and believe me I have looked! Also try the pumpkin ravs if they have them on special, or the risotto, but anything you get will be fabulous. Love the alfredo!) I also love the atmosphere here--it's a small place, well decorated and with proper lighting. The only bummer is that the menu never changes...good thing it's all great food!!!
Good for: evening out with friends, romantic dinner date
Not good for: large parties (although 18 of my friends went together one time and it was fine, but we didn't all get to sit together because the place is just too small to accommodate that kind of size), small children

I travel all over the country on business, and have visited all kinds of fine restaurants. What made Sorrento?s the best so far was: 1) Their combination of excellent service (without the annoying "hovering" of many restaurants - I want a server, not a new best friend) 2) Really tremendous food - many scrumptious, tasty and delicious entrees and top notch, distinctive flavors across the board and 3) A relaxed/un-formal atmosphere. As soon as walked in, we felt as if the pace had slowed down so that we could enjoy the meal and the surroundings whether we were there for a full business dinner or a casual drink later in the evening. I don't often recommend anything, but if you like fine Italian food (not soggy spaghetti with ketchup sauce), I don't know of a better place in the city at this point. There may be other outstanding places, but I haven't found them in 30 years of eating all over the country. Yes, I do strongly recommend Sorrento?s!

I have eaten -everywwheeere- in this city, and nowhere leaves me more satisfied than Lucias.
More than reasonable prices. Beautiful, authentic and cozy atmosphere. Knowledgeable and friendly staff and management (they even stayed open very late for my 21st bday). Great wine list. And most importantly, the food is AMAAAAZING !!!! There is nothing on the menu you will not like, and the chicken marsala is better than any I've ever had, in Italy, in NY's little Italy, at my Italian best friends grandmothers house, anywhere. I have never had a bad time or a bad meal or a bad glass of wine. I will continue bringing all of my friends here.
Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing

Code 10 is the BPD radio code requesting a lunch or dinner break! T-Anthony's steak tips and onion rings are so good that the menu should be standard department issued equipment. Everything I've tried had always been of the highiest standards - fresh, tastful, large portions. Nothing illegal here!
Pros: Convenient! Priced right!
Cons: Still testing everything on the menu...I'll let ya know.

This place is by far the best Indian food in Boston. The prices are reasonable, portions are good and the food is tasty. I love the naan bread and mango lassi. My husband gets a different chicken dish every time and I get lamb. We always leave happy.
