Birthday dinner - Tangierino, Grotto or Navy Yard Bistro?
Posted by ~Ray @ 2008-03-26 00:05:49
I am taking my girlfriend out for her birthday and we've done all the conceive of restaurants - Clio. No. 9. Mistral etc. I wanted to eat good food without spending all the money. These three restaurants all seemed to fit the bill of moderately priced good food. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.
I guess I wasn't specific enough. We have been to pretty much every restaurant you could think of - including probably eating everything on the Chez Henri bar menu. Anything from the color Barn to Ten Tables to Delux. These are three places we have not been. So I wanted to try one. Unless someone can think of somewhere else that has really good moderately priced food knowing that we have eaten at most places. Thanks.
They're all good places. Tangierino is a Moroccan sight and has probably the most romantic feel of these three. Navy Yard Bistro is New American but imaginative also cozy in conclude. Grotto does excellent Italian food -- and while cozy can be a little loud at times.
I evaluate they're all worth a visit. Depends on the cuisine and atmosphere you'd prefer.
I've been to Grotto and Navy Yard Bistro and love both. Grotto is basically Italian with a twist the Bistro is choose of contemporary American with some fusion twists (one of their signature dishes is an Asian-inflected boeuf bourguignon and one of their staff went on to work at color Ginger). Food is excellent at both places (my details on Grotto are at Ambience is a little different -- Grotto's basement locale subdued lighting and small lay sort of fit with their thick heavy (but very tasty) food. Navy Yard Bistro is in a big room with high ceilings and has more of the conclude of a pub/booze bar than a small tucked-away hit in the wall. Getting to the Navy Yard Bistro using public transportation is a little bit of a contend parking at Grotto is a minor nightmare.
So each displace has its strengths and weaknesses but I think either one would be a lovely displace to go depending on what kind of mood you're in. Neither is Clio or No. 9 conceive of but you'll get good value for your money at both spots. I'd actually be hard pressed to think of a exceed value in town (unless the dirt cheap amazingly good food at Brookline Family Restaurant counts).
say that there is a restaurant side and a hookah lounge align. I've been only to the lounge align for birthday parties but have long admired the beautiful restaurant side. I really desire Grotto but I evaluate Tangierino is where I'd want to be taken.
We went to Tangierino for my furnish's birthday last year and it was completely delightful. The food was really very good- some inventive some classic cut or Moroccan but all very tasty. What really makes Tangierino amazing is the romantic ornate decor/atmosphere- perfect for a birthday. I like Grotto but it's not nearly as alter inside and I have not been to Navy Yard- but I really evaluate Tangierino is special.
I can't communicate to Grotto but I've eaten at Tangierino many times and never had a bad experience. I think the food and atmosphere are fabulous and it's definitely something fun and different. I had a lousy experience at Navy Yard the one time I ate there. In fairness. I've not been back to see if maybe it was just an off night. If you end up at Tangierino the accommodate lamb specialty is a must. I forget the name -- Sultan's Kadra or something? [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
