Marisa on Elm

[cemeterygates.livejournal.com]

I finally had a chance to check out the newish Tibetan restaurant Davis Square, Marisa on Elm (next door to Cristos Pizza). The staff were incredibly pleasant and the food was reasonably priced ($42 for two people, including appetizers, entrees, one shared side, and beverages) and really delicious... I may become a regular. There is plenty of vegetarian food as well as meat dishes, ranging from traditional asian fare to spicy and unusual - something for everyone. I recommend you give it a try if you're looking for something new in the neighborhood! There are some take-out menus in a bin outside the restaurant.

42 bucks

for what certainly looks like crappy ambience may be a bit much. unless you had tons of drinks.
although appetizers too? sounds about moderate i suppose.

Diva, in my opinion, BLOWS. It is so overrated. I defended Davis on here against what i mistakenly thought was a former new yorker making fun of it. Well i will always defend Davis and its places, but i must admit that my time in nyc (esp 6th st) makes me appalled at overpriced indian type food.

Diva's staff are not very professional, the food is over-priced by about $4-$6 per entre (depending on how GOOD you actually think their food to be, i find it extremely average), and people flock there because whoever designed the place had a nice eye for style to some degree.

What's my point? stay outta my booze!

No, seriously, i just had to voice my never ending surprise that people love diva. completely overrated.

what's people's take on Gargoyle's? I love sitting at the bar (best baretenders in the square along with redbones) and the rice fries, but peeps find them over priced too?

Gargoyles is very tasty with good ambience for a special occasion... but far more expensive than average.
