I stopped by Toscana last week for a wax and pedicure. The place is clean, tranquil and European-looking. I had an extremely through pedicure done by Christine. She also did a great job cleaning up my eyebrows. Front desk staff was friendly and accommodating.

The new menu at Stephanie's is simply AMAZING! I would recommend the Seared Swordfish to anyone that is looking for a satisfying meal where you are full, but not over full. The portions are perfect and the whipped parsnip's sweet taste compliment the fish very well. I even had room to have the pumpkin cheesecake for dessert! The cheesecake was perfectly whipped with just the right amount of hot caramel on the plate. Kudos to the chef on a superb dish!
Pros: Everything about it!
Cons: Nothing

This place was packed with people which was encouraging after readng the reviews here. We decided to sit at the bar and eat dinner. I loved that the full dinner menu is avalable to people at the bar. The menu was pretty limited but the food was great. We got the gulf shrimp appetizer and the steak tartar and Pate dish to start and we were not at all disappointed. The gulf shrimp came smothered in a spiced butter sauce that was so succulent! The Pate they served was appealing to the eye and the taste did not disappoint. The tartar was perfect with the caper garnishment. They served toasted bread slices to accompany both apps and it was the perfect touch. My husband had the short rib sandwich and LOVED it. I had the blackened rib eye med rare with a pepercorn au juis sauce and I have to say it's the best rib-eye I have ever had. I had a great traditional Martini and The hubby drank IPA and the service was prompt, polite and engaging. We had a great time listening to the live Jazz music and the band was good. We didn't get to stay for the reggae that starts at 10 due to other plans but we look forward to hearing them next time!
It is recommended you try this place because I cannot wait to go here again!
Pros: the steak tartar and Pate plate was stellar!
Cons: didn't find any

I like Herrell's too in Harvard Square but J. P Licks is my favorite.
Herrell's sometime has a few weird flavors and just does too much with the ice cream. While J. P. licks sticks to the basics and they have more choices. Love it!

I usually have a hard time finding a gret pair of jeans. I guess I have a difficult body. Enter In Jean Ius! Now I know where to go. The only draw back is that I rarely go to the North End, so I try to plan my weekend brunch dates there in order to get in a little shopping. It's worth the trip.
Pros: Amazing Selection
Cons: Off the Beaten Path

My husband and I live in the Fenway but we never go to this place because it always looks so crowded! We had tickets to the game and decided to try to get an outside table by going a little early. It worked! The menu was a little confusing (a HUGE selection of cocktails not organized in any way I could figure out) but our adorable waitress, Ariel, proved to be a good and friendly guide even thought by the time we started to order drinks it was very busy. My drink was delicious so I had to have two, my husband stuck to beer and loved the draft beer she selected instead of Sam. Our food came out fast and was delcious! The burgers here are outstanding and the melted cheese appetizer is delicious. Then the sox won! What more can you ask for? We will definitely be back.
Pros: great service, fun atmostphere, tons of cocktails
Cons: crowded, noisy

From the moment we were greeted to the last dessert spoonful, a delightful experience. We went on a Monday (offer choice of 3 course fixed price menus for $35) and avoided the crowds. Comp starter mango avocado mousse was dazzling, appetizers devine, entrees outrageously delicious. Soft shell crab a triumph, seafood stew and short ribs very strong. We made sure to leave room for dessert and were not dissappointed. Service very solid. Took my son (the chef) for his birthday, and he can be tough to take to a restaurant. He was blown away. We'll be back.
Pros: Outstanding food
Cons: Slightly noisy, even when not full

A couple of my girlfriends and I were looking for something different to do after work. One of my co-workers told me about red sky and there Tuesdays "ladies 80's". To say the least we made our reservations and had a blast. It was almost too good to be true, a three course meal for free with the purches of a ten dollar beverage. The meal was proportioned perfectly. Our waitress Korey was very attentive, looking around and seeing that she had many other tables she still made us feel like we were her only ones. I cant say enough about this place. I will be back and so wont my friends.
