Boston Munch

General: This is considered to be the best pizza is boston. On a summer day, you can find many people sitting on the steps eating large slices of the day’s pizza. Locations are all over. go to http://www.theuppercrustpizzeria.com to find more.

She Said: This place is small, but the pizza is large! In 2007 and 2008, the UpperCrust was considered Boston’s Best Pizza by the Improper Bostonian. The pizza is very good. I enjoy the thin crust and the availability to get Whole Wheat Pizza and all sorts of toppings in order to create your own. The spinach square aren’t anything good. So, do not waste money on these tiny bites.

He Said: I like all the toppings you can have here, It makes the pizza interesting, also the pick of the day is usually good, last night was pine apple, jalapeño, and bacon, not bad at all. They have beer and wine on the restaurant, which is perfect if you are in a rush and want to grab a pretty decent pizza, fat food but quality. They offer 3 types of salads, I usually go for the Greek salad. Go here if you are walking down the street and you are hungry, have a beer or wine and a slice

General: This seafood restaurant is located off the touristy streets of the North End. Neptune Oyster serves all sorts of oysters and fish in a setting that makes you feel like you’re in Europe. The Restaurant is small that seats everyone right against each other, as well as at the bar. Located: 63 Salem StBoston, MA 02113 (617) 742-3474 www.neptuneoyster.com

She Said: Oysters, crowded room, awesome looking lobster, more oysters, more people, and a lot more oysters!!! This was a random decision to go, but then again, so are a lot of these places. Everything here, obviously, is seafood! There is an assortment of oysters, and fish to choose from. The atmostphere at  Neptune Oysters felt different from other restaurants, so I liked that. A little more European, so that’s good for me. I promise readers, that very very soon, the next bostonmunch outings and postings, you’ll find a review about a veggie dish or a veggie restaurant! Happy eatings and stay warm!

He Said: This place feels like a true Ostioneria, you will find in somewhere in Naples, It is small but sitting in the bar is good, the staff is very friendly and helpful, They do have other things on the menu, I even spotted a hamburger, I also had the sword fish, that was very good, I totally reccomend it. Ah don’t forget to order french fries, they are crunchy and well done. If you like see food and want a little adventure and have time to wait, this is a good choice.

Our Menu of the Night: Oysters for all - Wellfleet, Nauset, Cape Breton, Tatamagouche, Kumamoto, and Littleneck Clams

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: Restaurant, Bar, Boulangerie, 774 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02199  • 617 266 8800, this a chain and there are other locations thru the state. for more info go to http://www.seldelaterre.com/

She Said: I’m going to make this simple and sweet. Not my place at all, not my idea of a fun place, not even a place to take my parents. You go here, all you see is business people or people talking stocks. All though our waitress was nice and helpful, I was too impressed on a) the wine list.. one french wine for a french restaurant. b) food was okay, but not my style. c) the atmosphere. If I don’t like the atmosphere, then probably I won’t enjoy anything….

He siad: This french bistro, is not pretensius or trys to be. once i walk in the decor feels like nothing particular is nice, and all is where it should be, but screams chain. Almost like chesse cake factory with a french touch. for me the ambience of place is important but not a deal breaker, in the end she and I are in the quest for the ultimate good food. so we decided to give it a try. The wine list only had one frech bottle to order not very impressive, the menu is short and there are several things we could order, we did try the french frites wich i belive were pretty good. As main dish i had the rack of lamb, in my opinion it was ok, not to flavorfull. oh well!, I finish the night with a Mexican coffe as a dessert and digestive that was pretty good and probably the highlight of the dinner. Go there if yu are with a big group of people and in the area, never as place you pick just to have dinner.

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: Homemade ice cream and frozen yogurt! They do their own thing, and it’s Good! Boston operated.

She Said: I wouldn’t consider myself a big dessert fan, but the occasional fro-yo happens. I love frozen yogurt, but I think what I love more are the topping that I can put on it. I really enjoy the peanut butter fro-yo from JP Licks and then I top it off with Reeses Pieces. They have all flavors, but I feel that they lack in the topping choices! 

He Said: I would love if they had more toppings, I love their ice cream and all the cow deco, She and I enjoy much finishing a good party or dinning out night here. oh sit at the tin cup in the front

General: New york type style Japanese restaurant. Older crowd, expensive, elegant, professional and damn good. Located: 116 Washington St, Boston, MA 02118 Phone: 617-482-8868

She Said: So sleek and pretty, amazing, highly rated, highly professional! The dishes were presented in such a beautiful manor. The setting was great too. Quiet and delicate. The service was really nice too. Our waitress was somewhat helpful, I thought, but she always asked if we needed anything. Tonight we brought my roommate to dinner. I thought it would be good to get her input on this, so hopefully she’ll write a tidbit later on her experience. (pretty much she hadn’t had much sushi before, but enjoyed the experience!!) Dishes ordered included Spicy edamame, seaweed salad, Yellowtail and Salmon sashimi, some crazy dish that I just randomly ordered and the Tuna Tartare, oh and some oyster thing.. Maybe He’ll remember. The Tuna tartare was very tasty. It had a lot of flavor for just a little bit. I didn’t enjoy the spicy edamame as much. I really just enjoyed the setting at Oishii and the displays of the elegant food. Yes, it is very expensive, but the ambience is amazing!

He said: Ok everyone that have been there tell me this is their favorite restaurant, I now agree, She just described the food very accurate, everything was totally good. This night was a sort of special for she and he, she invited her friend, and that was the experience for me, she share with us that she wasn’t to familiar with Japanese food. thru the years I always have introduce friends to all sort of foods, always get all kind of mixed reactions. same with our friend here, I can said she had never had oysters or caviar, but we insisted and she tried… yay! Place is great, I am thinking actually to throw a party there soon. my advice just go and enjoy like we did.

General: Le’s is a basic vietnamese restaurant. Service is fast (usually). The food is decent. Large plates. Located: 137 Brighton Ave, Allston 02134 

She Said: Fast, friendly, average quality. Come to dine if you’re in a hurry or very hungy! Le’s is nothing great, but it was good because I was very hungry. The Fresh Summer spring rolls with Tofu were fine. I liked it and they were basic. The peanut sauce was very good. I had curry tofu… however it wasn’t curry. I think they messed up my order. I didn’t care. I wanted tofu so badly and it really enjoyed it. All the veggies (broccoli, zucchini, squash, snowpeas, red peppers) were decently steamed. I also had the bubble Thai tea and it was different than i was expecting. I was thinking more tea.. not smoothie. This is just a lunch place. I wouldn’t come for dinner. The plates are too much, but I ate everything!

He Said: This is definitely an interesting place, and totally not a place i will just go, but since we were driving around the area and she suggested Vietnamese, I was like why not?, we got in, this place is very Allston, the dishes are big, they are tasty, and The drinks were good, I order Tsingtao Chinese beer, that was pretty awesome for a hot day, the we had the spring roles, nothing there. just lettuce, but the peanut sauce was pretty good, Then I had a chicken noodle soup, I ordered the small one but it comes in huge bowl…. this was actually pretty decent, for my main dish i had the curry beef, this was spicy and good but I was already so full from the other dishes that couldn’t finish. She gave me some of her tofu, that was pretty good, It tasted like chicken.
Any how go here if you are in the area and super hungry.

General: Scoozi! The best place on earth. International, young and fun crowd. Good food, good Sangria, good friends. Located: 237 Newbury St.

She Said Update: Not much new to say about this place. I’m here all the time. I’d say almost once a week! I took my mum here as well. Unfortunately we had to sit inside, but none the less it was still fun. She even liked the Sangria and normally she doesn’t. The pizza was yummy we had the veggie one.

He Said Update: There is always a summer song, a summer outfit, and a summer place for food an drinks, this was the place to be for the summer. One more thing I love the Tuna Putanesca panini. yeah!

General: City Bar is located in the Lenox Hotel. This is a pretty fancy place. I believe this bar is kind of for the “older” crowd, but it’s very nice. I saw a range of people there. Located: 61 Exeter St, Btwn Boylston & Blagden St.

She Said: We didn’t eat at City Bar, but there were drinks around the table. He and She took She’s mum, K around the town, for a night cap, the stop was City Bar. I had the Guava Martini, which He recommended. Not a bad choice. I thought the flavor was tasty. However, K didn’t enjoy her dry martini as much. I didn’t ask her why, which I should have, but all I know is that my mum knows her martini’s and if this wasn’t the cut, well then don’t order the dry martini here! The next night, we did a night cap again at City Bar. I had the Ruby which is a champagne cocktail. I thought it was so good! I’d order it again and AGAIN. They just used Pom juice…. so there is nothing special, but I enjoyed it. K thought it tasted like cough medicine! As for Service… it was accommodating. K is hard of hearing and City Bar is quiet enough for anyone.

He Said: I like this bar, is good is well decorated and “confi”, every time I come here is almost a rule to get guava martini’s they are so good, I am glad she like it. It is a good place to end up the night. quiet and close to all the other croweded bars, specially after 12. Beware thoug they are very strict about wearing hats, so all those sports fans out there trying to wear your team colors on the head, this is not the spot. I’ll kepp you posted as my next try will be the expresso martinis. cheers!!!
