I love Fire Ice in Boston. You can google it to get exact directions. But it s really cool, they have everything raw and you go up and pick out as many things as you want and then bring it over to the huge grill where the chefs cook it in front of you. It s all you can eat, even though I usually get full from just one platefull. It s $20 a person and they have everything- steak, chicken, shrimp, hamburgers, pasta, veggies, salads, sauces. It s fun!
If you like Thai food, I d recommend Montien. It s casual but nice, and it s quiet enough that you can talk easily without having to shout. It s located downtown, near Boylston Station, 63 Stuart Street. They have entrees starting from $11 or so, and the food is excellent.
I don t know exactly where this is in relation to you, but Stephanie s on Newbury is a really nice place:http://www.stephaniesonnewbury.com/
