Stephanie’s on Newbury
Author: psound
General: Preppy, popular, summer outdoor patio American food restaurant on the heart of back bay. Located: 190 Newbury St., Boston, MA, 02116. Right on the corner of Newbury and Exceter.
She Said: I’ve been to Stephanie’s a few different times. The first was back when I visited Boston to check out schools. I loved it from the start. haha. I don’t know why. Maybe at first it was because I felt it was a “family” setting… My sister, my mum and our friend all went to Stephanie’s and had a wonderful time. The other times I’ve been, I’ve been just as satisfied. Dishes I recommend include (oh, ps, the dishes are pretty big): baked spinach and artichoke dip, Asian Yellow Fin Tuna Salad, Ahi Tuna Tartare… and their Bloody Mary’s are pretty good too. OHHH! can’t forget.. their Brunch menu is fantastic.. check it out.
He Said: We have been here more than a couple of times, one of them I had of all things the meatloaf, it was pretty good for a meal that is usually so blah! The portions on this place are pretty big. so you have to be careful on what to order. If you don’t have a big appetite, sharing meals is a good idea. On the summer be prepared for a wait if you want to dine out doors and people watch, during the winter still pretty popular and you might experience some waiting. They have a great bar so you can consider ordering almost any kind of drinks. Margaritas are good as well as the white sangria. this place is one of those that we can always go when we don’t want to put to much effort on deciding or are just in between doing something else.

Author: sophiecore
General: The Rattlesnake Bar and Grill serves mexican/southwestern bar food and cheap eats. Located at 84 Boylston St, Btwn Berkeley & Arlington St.
She Said: Looking for cheap eats, some beer and to watch some sports game…. then go to the Rattlesnake. You’re in for a treat…. a bad one. I didn’t enjoy this place. It’s not a typical place for me to go, which is good that I write about this bar. Not my normal scene, not a very nice looking place and bad food. I had chips and salsa and black bean soup. How can you go wrong making black bean soup??? It wasn’t good! I only came here because a friend was having a beer. Now I know not to ever go to this place again. Just bad in general and a waste of time.
He Said: For the top of Boylston St, where in general you find good food and decent services, I say I would never come back here, I had the hamburger, not impress at all it was pretty mediocre even for just bar food, then the service was terrible the waitress didn’t get my bill right and it took for ever, the bouncer at the entrance were rude with she, totally uncalled for! This place doesn’t deserve back bay status, thats why I have heard that is never the first choice of anyone, everyone that goes there is more because they stumble in or because the other bars / restaurants in the area are completely full.
Kashmir Indian Restaurant
Author: sophiecore
General: Fantastic Indian Restaurant located in the best part of Newbury Street. Kashmir is authentic, yet decorated a bit more modernly. Located: 279 Newbury St, At Gloucester St.
She Said: If you are looking for a good atmosphere and really good Indian food, Kashmir is the place to go. I know this is the only Indian restaurant I’ve tried so far in Boston, but I know my Indian palate. I’ve grown up eating home-made Indian food, as well as having dinner at Indian restaurants around the world. Kashmir on Newbury street matches to some of the high end Indian places I’ve been too. The atmosphere and the staff are great and the food is excellent. I would recommend going with a group of friends so many dishes can be tested and shared. The menu is extensive and everything sounds good. My favorite vegetarian dish is Saag Paneer which is Spicy spinach cooked with pieces of fresh home-made cheese. Of course, naan is to die for! Like many places on Newbury street, the outdoor seating at Kashmir is pleasant when the weather permits. Kashmir also has a list of flavors for hooka/shisha, if you’re into that.
He Said: I love Indian food, is very tasty and spicy, at the begining I was reluctant to try this restaurant, nothing bad that I heard, except that it was in newbury st. So I was why pay newbury prices for what many other places around the city offer? Well we went, and i don’t regret it, the foos was very good. the meat dishes are carefully selected and the rice is good. one thing if you like spicy food go for the hot not medium my waiter warn about being to hot. so i choose medium, and it wasn’t hot at all. Also they have a good buffet for lunch and you can always smoke a hooka/shisha.
