This restaurant is of course top notch, but I don't think the decor has been updated since it was built. It's a little distracting. I was thinking about having my wedding there, but I'm not sure how that would look in photos. Yes the views are amazing and the food is spectacular, but let's pick on perfection: it's dated. The Prudential Center holds a special place in my heart and this tops it.
Pros: Food, Views, Elegance
Cons: Dated

You can't beat the style at this tiny bar and restaurant, with big black and white family photos and red leather booths. Fortunately it lives up to its look, with food that's a cut above the usual bar fare for only a little bit more money. Favorites include pretty much anything involving cheese, including the grilled ham and cheese which comes on rye with fries, and the famous, deadly mac and cheese, which has with a side salad to mitigate the guilt. The entrees are mostly under $10 and the drinks are terrific. Insanely crowded at lunch and right after work, so try early in the week, or quarter to noon, or get a friend to stake out a table for you just as you're getting out of work. No reservations.

While in Boston, our concierge recommended Stephanie’s Restaurant for dinner. We walked from the hotel on a nice, fall evening and had an absolutely wonderful experience along with a very tasty dinner.
When you approach Stephanie’s, you walk through their expansive outdoor seating area on the beautiful and exclusive Newbury Street. Upon entering, you’re greeted by a very friendly yet professional staff member and visually treated by a roaring fireplace and soft, ambient lighting spilling onto luxurious dark wood surfaces. The staff member didn’t ask for our name when inviting us to take a seat in front of the fireplace to wait for a table, yet he got everyone seated in the order in which they had arrived and the wait time was so minimal it’s not worth mentioning. Stephanie’s is not the type of place where they’re yelling names out and creating chaos. Instead, the staff there is each a positive contributor to the adult ambiance. There are no “Happy, happy birthday!” songs being screeched out several times an hour! Thank GOD.
Our meal was absolutely flawless and our waiter’s exuberance was nothing short of delightful. I had THE best spinach salad I have ever had in my entire life! My fiancé had the Italian Sausage Orchiette which he said was fabulous. I was torn between the salad and the salmon, so our waiter suggested I have some salmon on top of the salad! Excellent!! The breads brought to the table to tide us over before the meal were also very different and delectable. My mouth is watering just remembering that meal!
Check out Stephanie’s web site http://www.stephaniesonnewbury.com/ where they not only have their menus, directions, reviews, etc, but also a virtual tour. Our concierge categorized the restaurant as “great American food” and Stephanie’s web site calls it “sophisticated comfort food.” I think they’re both right, but I simply call it “perfect”. Oh, how I wish we had a Stephanie’s in the Seattle area!

being a new res to boston i wanted to try some local area places to eat. After doing a little research online I found this little gem. Its the perfect place for anyone esp. college goers. Good prices with great food. that can be a hard find in bean town. I had the tips, amazing mashed potatoes. ask for tips med rare, no more. the chilli was some of the best I've ever had. I loved the music too, i always wanted to try swing dancin. But this hip little area is def gonna be my new fav lil place.

Lucca is on the main tourist drag in the North End- Hanover Street- so is often bustling with business. If you do not want to wait, try to plan ahead and make a reservation for a table. In the summer months when the tall-windows are open and the breeze is blowing through the restaurant it is definitely the place to be.
The food here is always excellent with the concentration being on classic Italian meat and pasta dishes. Service here is also very good, but the menu tends to be on the pricey side - which is typical of this neighborhood. Expect to spend approximately $100 for a dinner for two once you throw in the wine.

I went to Masa for the first time last night during Boston's restaurant week. The food was great- even though 'chipotle seasoned new england clam chowder' sounds disgusting, it was actually pretty good! The server wasn't very friendly, but no big complaints the hostess was very nice.
The place was cute, in a great location, and they clear out the tables in part of the restaurant for free salsa lessons & dancing after dinner.
Pros: everything was delicious
Cons: unfriendly service

Reviews count and sometimes, like in this case, are true! I am sorry that there are only 5 stars because the person and the jeweler definately deserve more than 5 stars. The story is simple: based on the internet reviews, we ended up having an appointment and a first meeting. Not only he managed by magic to invent our wedding bands the way we wanted - simple but not traditional, but even changed my engagement ring to match my wedding band in a way that gave more splendor to it than it originally looked like. Now we have three rings with the same concept and the whole set seems to be saying the same continuous story. It's just lovely! I am rarely positively impressed by someone, but he really loves his job and this is shown in the attention, expertise and creativity with which he meets your desires!
Pros: attention expertise creativity
Cons: none
