from Metrowest to Boston

Message 32 of 159

OK, I see the North and South Shores represented as well as the Pioneer Valley area, so I guess I'll pick up the banner for west of Boston to Metrowest.
If you know of any good places to eat out this way, let's start a list.
A few of my favorites are:

Samba on Rt 9 in Framingham, for sushi, hibachi and cool drinks

Rani Bistro, at 1353 Beacon St in Brookline has a great Indian Sunday lunch buffet

Lincoln Street Coffee in Newton Highlands is a great little place for coffee and yummy food such as baked goods, salads, grilled triple cheese sandwiches on whole grain bread, etc.

I just heard about The Marathon Restaurant opening in Hopkinton. Sounds like lots of yummy comfort foods.
Also, if you're heading up north on Rt 495, the best brunch in MA (IMHO) is in Bolton at The Nashoba Winery's restaurant, Jay's. Just make sure you get reservations. FANTASTIC food!!!

Davio's in the Patriot Plaza is wonderful if you have a few bucks in your pocket to splurge with. The food is beyond great and the presentation and ambience is elegant as well as relaxing.

Speaking of Patriot's Place, they have a theater experience that I highly recommend. It's called the Showcase Cinema de Lux, and we like it better than Framingham's AMC Premium Cinema.

You sit above and separated from the rest of the theater goers in comfy seats with trays, on which you can be served dinner. There is also a bar, TVs, and dining on this upper level of the theater, but it's more fun to watch the movie too. Just make sure when you order tickets that you get the ones on the upper level.

I've heard from several people that the Marathon has turned out to be a bit of a bust. So-so grilled food and a nondescript sports bar atmosphere. Kids are apparently not welcome. We figure their business plan was quite brief: EMC personnel entertaining visiting clients on expense accounts. .
