I've been putting together a list of good moderately priced
restaurants in Boston (near Brookline & Cambridge, since that's
where I live and work). Either I've had a very good meal there,
or someone else has recommended it highly.
I'd be interested in your comments about these restaurants
if you've had an exceptionally good or bad experience at them
as well as additions (with name, type of food & location).
I'll post an updated list sometime in the future.

Perhaps this is what you meant? My favorite Chinese restaurant is Changsho on Mass Ave in Cambridge, between Harvard and Porter Squares. : Italian : ------- I'd add Papa Razzi to the list; I'm no expert on Italian food, but I have enjoyed every meal I've eaten there, as has everybody else I've gone with. There are, I think, three of them: one in Cambridge sort of adjoining the Lechmere mall, one in Chestnut Hill, and one somewhere in Boston. : Thai : ---- My favorite Thai place is Amarin, which is in Newton Corner. Excellent food. Also, I don't remember seeing it on your list: the Border Cafe in Harvard Square. It's incredibly popular - usually a 1 to 1 1/2 hour wait in the evening. But worth it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bob Pitha Molecular Simulations Inc. bobp@msi.com 16 New England Executive Park (617) 229-9800 x242 Burlington, MA 01803-5297

I think they have only one bbq entree. They serve primarily spicy eclectic cuisine with a heavy Caribbean influence. Lots of great seafood! I have never had a bad or even mediocre meal there, service is ok, and they have decent beer on tap. The ambiance is not so good (though they do have live music sometimes), but the food more than makes up for it IMHO. The entrance is through a bar, Charlies Tap, and there is cheap parking (75 cents/hour) in a parking garage right next door. The menu changes a lot (or used to), but if they have it try the conch, or the mussels steamed in Bass ale, or the fish chowder, or, of course, the ribs. The server will warn you about the ribs, they are quite hot and spicy, but great. Glen Dudek dudek@odi.com
