Boston Munch

General: American and loud. A place to grab you’re after work cocktail. Located on Boylston across from the new Mandarin Hotel, this place is always full of fun people. Located: 755 Boylston St. www.voxboston.com

She Said: This is starting to be my second home! The staff here is wonderful, and the food always smells good. I’ve had oysters here, which were pretty good. The MacnCheese is good, but I don’t really like macnhcheese in general. The vox bruscetta.. eh.. You know where I’m going.. It’s a fun place to meet with friends, have a little nibble or a salad. The presentation is pretty and the food smells good, but it’s not my favorite dinner place. Go to Vox if you’re looking for a good time and a great atmosphere. You’ll get it.

He Said: I am like always here, this is like the local bar, that everyone knows you and you know everyone, lucky for  the food is pretty good, we come here just to chill any other day, the last time we had food there, i was to drunk to rmember, haha.  but she said it was good.. Being there so many times I had tried many things including brunch. I will totally recomend this place to any one. just go chill and ejoy.. We will keep updating this posts since this place is an ongoing thing.

General: This loud, friendly, jazz restaurant is located in the arts district on Tremont. You’ll find everyone of all ages dining and wining, and enjoying the atmosphere. Located 541 Tremont St,  Btwn Dartmouth & E. Berkley St Telephone: 617-423-0069

She Said: As I entered this restaurant I knew I’d never be able take my mum here as she would not be able to hear a word. However, she probably wouldn’t enjoy the setting at all.. For me, and for my friends, this place is wonderful. Yes, it is a bit loud (sorry to those that had to sit right next to the stage), but The Beehive is worth it. The menu isn’t large, so it’s good for those who have a hard time choosing. Started off with the Tuna Tartare of course… not as good as I would have hoped, but I didn’t have high expectations anyways. The oysters weren’t up to par either. I also had the Baked Zucchini stuffed with Ricotta. It was decent. I think that The Beehive is a fun place to go with your friends. Live entertainment is always fun no matter what. The food here is just okay, the people are pretty friendly, but the scene is what matters.

He Said: Pretty cool place, I had a great time here, they at first put us on on the table right next to the stage, just to close to a whole drum set, there is no way I could of had dinner there, so we decided to wait for an other table, the place is pretty busy but th wait wasn’t long. The  next table was small to close to the neighbors oh well. We tried some speciallity coktails and we shared most of the food, I agree with her review on all the food, the only thing I ate different was the prosutto pizza, that actually was pretty good. After we meet up with a friend of mine and her group, we stayed for a round of drinks at the downstairs bar. again pretty packed so is hard to get the attention of those bartenders. Over all I liked the place, is good spot to hang out have some food and fun. The band that night was ok, the bass player wasn’t keeping the tempo and missed some notes but thats a review for an other blog.

General: Home of the Boston Red Sox and one of the two oldest base balls parks in America, Located at Boston Red Sox, 4 Yawkey Way, Boston MA 02215-3496

She Said: umm really I have no idea what to say… It’s the baseball field, so you’ll find the baseball essentials: Franks, Dogs, PopCorn, Beer, Ice Cream… etc…. However I did run into a stand that served “healthy’ option: yogurt, carrots and dip. Myself, sneak in what little nibbles I can in my pockets. As for restaurants surrounding the area… There are many, but I can’t tell you about them because I haven’t eaten there and they don’t appeal to me!

He Said: Fenway franks, Fenway franks, they are raw simple hot dogs but for us base ball lovers and sox fans this food and crappy but expensive beer is as close as you get to live the Boston passion for their sports teams. I love this place and I think the whole old vive of fenway is enough for me to keep coming back for as many games I can. One tip though, If you get a chance to go to a day game during the week, totally do it. is the best experience. Go Sox!!!!

General: This Tapas restaurant is also a martini bar. Located in the South End, 28 Degrees is a trendy, hip, and fun place to have drinks and dine at any time of the week. The weekend, of course, is backed and loud so make sure you have a reservation. Located: 1 Appleton St (at the corner of Tremont St).

She Said: I have to say, I’m a little disappointed that I don’t find more “bad” places in Boston to eat at… so far everything is fairly great and 28 Degrees is no exception. I’d come here again in a heart beat. First of all, the service was fantastic. Vince, our waiter, was great and very nice. I’m sure you’re more interested in the food and wine though…. Food — KILLER! These oyster were better than I’ve had in a while. (Between 5pm and 7pm, you can get oysters for a dollar). My Yellowfin Tuna Tartare was so good too. I had to have tuna tartare that was my input for the night. I know I’m more of a vegetarian, but I took a small break and had seafood this weekend. Next we had these mini Maine crab tacos with Mango. I did not enjoy this as much as the other dishes. The seared scallops were also a hit around the table. The last dish was the Spicy Grilled Shrimp… I did not try this dish though, so He could tell you more. For drinks we had a bottle of Dog Point. If you don’t know this wonderful white wine, SHAME ON YOU! It is fantastic and went very well with dinner. We also had 2 dessert drinks to share and try. The Espresso Martini was very good (if you like these types of martinis). The Raspberry Truffle Martini not so good. It was too sweet for my liking. Too “desserty” My Favorite part of the restaurant is the BATHROOM. the ceiling is awesome (water) and it was just fun and cool. So make sure you check that out!

He Said: 28 degrees, I am kind of trying to figure out why the name. is 28 degrees Celsius / Fahrenheit??????? or just a random angle on right triangle….. I don’t know? but what i know the food i had here was pretty good! Yeah the setting was nice laungue trendy, almost NYC. which i think is a good thing

So we went to try a new place and also because I wanted to celebrate she coming back and she’s mom being in town. any way long story short I loved the oysters…… wow so good. if you go there and don’t have them, It’s a Pink Panther pop. shame of you for not liking oysters. you can review our menu here or in an others sites. but i had a great time here. I also will have an expresso tinny for dessert and once is time to break the seal go to the bath room, is a pretty place. I am sure she and he will have more stories from this place…. will keep you posted.

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.

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.

General: ‘New’ American Restaurant, Stix, is a newly opened hotstop. Stix opened in November 2007 and has been recieving great reviews (Boston Globe Magazine: Best of the New 2008)!! This restaurant and lounge bar is one you MUST try out. Located: 35 Stanhope St, Btwn Clarendon & Berkley

She Said: Trendy, out-of-the-way, yet cool as hell restaurant that definately makes you wonder about the name…Well it did for us! Stix is an awesome place. I went here for my birthday and had a fabulous time! For me, the menu is to die for. Everything sounds wonderful and seriously, everything I had, from the signature plates to the drinks and finally dessert, IS! For my birthday dinner, I had the signature STIX Tuna Sashimi Style on Ginger Mango STIX. When the waitress asked if that was all I was having, I said yeah… However I found out that the restaurant is named STIX because the food is served on sticks! DUH. Silly he and she…Tthere were about three sticks on my plates, so I ordered the Tofu on Mexican Fiesta STIX. Both of these were enough to fill me right up. The signature STIX are very cute. The food was delicious and I completely recommend trying this place out. I do warn you… When the dude at the bar says there is a line of people waiting at the door to come in and party at their “club,” do not stay. It is absolutally not worth it! You’ll have more fun hitting up your normal bar.

He Said: I loved this place, is original and tasty, the food is served on stix’s hence the name. I was happy I went there, It was perfect for something different and in our case to celebrate her birthday. The menu is short and not complex. Also get the desert stix’s they are really good. The staff is friendly and the decor is nice and contemporary. One thing if you have a big appetite be prepare to order a lot of those stix’s.

Trident Café is a great little diner & coffee shop. It’s also a bookstore, so it becomes the perfect combination of reading and eating! At Trident, you’ll be able to pair you’re favorite books and magazines with some good, wholesome food and/or drinks. They also feature an extensive array of teas, fresh squeezed juices, smoothies and coffee. There is also free wi-fi at Trident Café.

Located at 338 Newbury St, Btwn Massachusetts Ave & Hereford St.

She Said:

I absolutely love coming here. I really don’t know what is better than reading and having tea on a Sunday afternoon. My personal favorites drinks are the veggie and fruit juices. As for food, you can find me having the MAPLE NUT GRANOLA and the FRESH FRUIT SALAD. If you are a breakfast person, Trident is the one for you because you can get breakfast at any hour!

He Said:

I’ve got to admit, at the beginning I wasn’t so warm to the idea of this place. Perhaps it was the whole veggie-first vibe, but now I am glad I went. They have food for everyone, even us meat-eaters; you will find chicken quesadillas, hamburgers, and even meatloaf on the menu. But the real gems of this place are the smoothies and teas. You can’t go wrong with the Trident smoothie, a blend of orange juice, banana, and various berries. Like she said, this is a great place to relax, read a book or a magazine, browse the net or just enjoy the food. Don’t let the whole green intellectual facade scare you from a good meal.
