     Does anyone out there who has more experience with Boston
cuisine than I do (6 months worth) have a sense of how accurate
Boston Magazine's recent article "25 Great Meals for $25" is?
     I've been to Jae's Cafe and Grill (which is listed in the
article as an excellent value) and my experience there was
very good.  How about the other places?

     Just curious.

Well, I've been to the Tam O'Shanter in Brookline many times,
and have never had a bad meal there.  The food is consistantly
excellent, the menu is constantly changing with many different
seafood dishes, stews and grilled foods.  Even the standby dish,
the Tam Burger, is perhaps the best burger in the city (also, they
tend to hire extremely attractive waitresses), so I would suspect
that the other recommended restaurants are worth checking out 
as well!

Hmm.. Could some kind soul out there send me the address or phone number
of Boston Magazine?

Looking for another reason to visit,
Francois.

Well, I haven't tried it yet, but....there's a new place 1/2 a block
from Jae's on Columbus Ave. (away from  Mass. Ave) called 'The Bluestone
Bistro'. It's mostly Italian food, with an interesting looking menu.
They also have quite a selection of Pizza (available for carry out
I was thinking of taking the plunge and trying it out...has
anyone else tried it? They've only been open for a few weeks, but it seems
to be pretty full on most evenings. If no one has tried it, I'll check
it out and report back.

I agreed with much of it, and particularly noted their inclusion
of Stellina's which I have mentioned here before and is my
all-around favorite restaurant.  They described the warm tomato
and Hubbardston goat cheese appetizer which is a MUST whenever
I go there.

If you're anywhere near Watertown Square, try it.  Reservations
often required.
