davis_squareOk folks, got a restaurant-related question here.
What I'm looking for: places with full bars and very good bar menus, that aren't too expensive, but have some class to them. That is, they can make you a dirty Tanqueray martini and feed you, I dunno, goat cheese quesadillas or something, as opposed to making you nasty sugary shooters and feeding you lackluster chicken fingers while rowdy frat boys yell and watch sporting events on TV all around you. It doesn't have to be just a bar, and it doesn't have to be a full restaurant.
Places I've been that have the kind of stuff I've liked: Grafton Street in Harvard Square, Noir at the Charles Hotel, etc. Anything a little less pricey than those places would be welcome, though. When I have a real job I'm perfectly willing to spend the cash, but right now I am a lowly temp, getting paid shite wages to research information on some of the richest people in the world so this college can ask them for money. Closer to Davis or Porter would also be nice.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations!

Re: Orleans
Date: 2006-07-14 04:57 pm (UTC)I remember when they covered their beautiful rose paiting with a plastic kinko's ad boasting "now serving brunch."
I was apalled that they disrespected their one pretty object by just screwing the thing directly into the wood of the rose painting. I shook my head at that.
