My experience at Lala Rokh was exceptional. I went with my husband to celebrate our first anniversary. We were going for the weekend to Boston and it was hard to decide were to go for a special dinner. The idea of Persian food on Beacon Hill sounded very good to me and it was really more that we both expected. To start the atmosphere was very "tranquil" and sober, and at the same time romantic and relaxed. Service was excellent too. They were very efficient, gave us good descriptions about the food and advice in what to order. The food was very different, tasty and aromatic, a whole new experience for the palate. I recommend it a 100% and will be taking friends and going back because I defintely want to try their whole menu. Can't go without trying the "Fezenjen".
Pros: Good location, nice athmosfere, great service, delicious food
Cons: Being a small place I think is best to make reservations to avoid waiting

Avila is THE perfect place to kick off the evening before seeing a show. I was pleasantly surprised by the vibe which was classy yet casual enough to not feel stuffy - high ceilings, beautiful art work and a variety of seating options, including bar, tables and counter seats facing the open kitchen. Our server was very knowledgeable and provided several sound suggestions. The drinks were amazing, especially the bar tender?s latest creation called "Summer Lovin" featuring homemade passion fruit sorbet, with citron vodka, cointreau and fresh basil. The menu offers a wide variety Mediterranean dishes (too many to choose from) that are creative but not overly eccentric. Everything we sampled was simply delicious. Attentive service kept us on pace to make our show with time to spare. They even offer a pre-theater menu which allows you to come back for coffee and dessert after the theater. I strongly suggest the valet parking for $16 which covers the whole night (up until 11)! Avila is a great find!
Pros: menu variety, food, environment, valet, close to theaters

Went to No. 9 Park for our wedding anniversary. It was amazing. My husband had arranged for a fresh flower arrangement at the table which was presented when we sat down. It was beautiful. Our waiter was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, which was a perfect complement to fantastic food. I definitely recommend the prune-stuffed gnocchi for an appetizer. The restaurant even decorated our dessert dish with a "Happy Anniversary" and provided a complimentary serving of dessert Italian wine. I also have to say, while taking a quick look around the room, all of the other patrons were smiling and looked very happy to be there. It is a great restaurant... very beautiful, very professional. For the other reviews below, I suggest giving it another chance... you may want to "waite" before posting and "pare" your posting against spell check. Or next time, simply speak up if you're not happy. The restaurant seems to be accomodating to dissatisfactions.
Pros: Ambiance, Food, Professionalism, Catering to Special Occasions
Cons: Too many pros...

I listened to the hype and dined on the patio at Hamersley's last summer for the 1st time. I found it to be ok but not great. I have since given it 5 more tries to see if it can redeem itself as I now live around the corner from the restaurant. How thrilled I am that all 5 times I have been impressed. I have dined in the bar, on the patio, in the restaurant and have yet to be disappointed. The bartenders are wonderful, the waitstaff is so incredibly professional and the food is executed perfectly. Yes, the prices may be a tad high but if that is the only thing working against this place....long live Hamersley's!
Pros: Food, decor, ambiance, SERVICE
Cons: Price, parking, potentially long waiting list

I was pleasantly surprised by the unbelievable delicious food and the extremely attentive service. We tried the octopus and trip of pies for appetizers and both were to die for. I had a yellow fin tuna that was cooked to perfection over spinach and couscous. Others in my group had the sole and the shrimjp over couscous. I would caution the Shrim over Couscous dish was a mild spice (i love spicy food! - one person can barely handle mild salsa) so the waitstaff might want to make caution about that.
the decor was modern, trendy and inviting. The restuarnt is difficult to find. They are below street level and difficult to find unless you are looking for them. I would suggest a sign that is more visible from the street.
Cons: When the door opens there is a draft if youre near the door

6:15 on a Friday night no reservations and a quest for something different led my wife and I to the Metropolis Cafe. We started with the tour of the many tempting spots on Tremont Street (which were all full with a long wait) when we wandered by the Metropolis. We both took a look at the menu and decided to see if they had any spots. Once inside we were taken by how nice and cozy it was and that you could hear ourselves talk. The maitre'd said that they were full but there was a table that may be available in 10 minutes if we could wait. We sat at the bar, reviewed the wine list and asked the bar tender if we could have a taste of two we were thinking of and to our surprise he said yes. While the wine list is a bit shallow it is very well priced with a lot of very good wines in the $30 to $60 dollar range. After being seated we were served a wonderful bread with a oil and garlic dipping sauce to get us started. The waiter told us the specials and answered a few questions before we ordered. One of the specials was Spaghetti & Meatballs and on a whim I ordered it and I must tell you it was the best I have ever had. My wife had a veal dish which was wonderful and very well prepared. For desert we had a Creme Brulee and and finished off the wine while relaxing and enjoying the view. The Metropolis it one of those rare finds that is a great place to enjoy a evening over great food, good wine in an inviting, cozy atmosphere.
We will be back
Pros: Charming, cozy & romantic.
Cons: Parking

This Italian restaurant is smaller than many other eateries in the North End with capacity for 24 patrons, but it is quite popular. Space is tight and the tables are small, but the food is outstanding and portions are large. I usually start with a casear salad follwed by a large choice of pasta selections, you really can't go wrong with anything on the menu here. Serves beer and wine. Does not accept credit cards; cash only
