Need some help!

I am meeting up with a lovely woman tomorrow afternoon and I would like to take her somewhere conducive to a great first date. Conducive meaning good food and great atmosphere. I am looking for something in Cambridge/Somerville. I am thinking somewhere that aids to striking up some good conversation and delivers up tasty food and beverages! Any suggestions?

Thx!

Wow, too bad

its not at night or on a weekend....at least at night you could each have a drink and not feel self-conscious. who knows, maybe you can (if so, bully for you!).

A nice place in the square at lunch? I like the diesel idea myself. there's more privacy (in the back) than at House of Tibet or Namaskar. Food's not as good though. But it sounds like talking matters more than chewing eh?

In Cambridge/Somerville there Harvest in Harvard Sq. that can get a lil' pricey, but its so good and cool vibe etc. There's also Cambridge 1 for pizza in Harvard Square.

Hell, Redbones always spurs conversation and has tons of beverages!
But I dont know if barbecue is too messy for a first date or not.

Anyone been to Sauce in Davis yet? Food is meh, but i like the place and the drinks.

Anyway, good luck!

Redbones, in my experience, is much too loud for conversation.

as is diesel. diesel makes a good landmark/meeting location, then adjourn to someplace quieter for actual conversation...

I find that Diesel is OK for talking, but I also tend to go there on weekday evenings and other less-crowded times. It can be loud when it's crowded, yeah.
