Boloco's web site now lists a Davis Square location as "Coming January 2007" with hours of 7 am to 11 pm. O'Naturals hasn't taken the location off their web site yet. (Is it still open at all?)

Er, I'm not really sure ethnic food is a 'gimmick'. At least, no more than modern-American soup&salad is a gimmick in and of itself.

Regardless, in davis:
The Rosebud?
Cristo's 7 Stars?
Deli-icious?

Frank's Steakhouse isn't that far from the Square.

Yah, you are right--gimmick doesnt apply to ethnic. My stream of consciousness took over up there. Cristo's is a pizza shop primarily, right? The Rosebud has very little options of the non-meat variety, and this is embarassing, but what's Deli-icious? Frank's Steakhouse... meaty. I don't find Mike's appealing. Diesel would be fine, but my friend and I have had a couple of unpleasant food experiences there, sadly. I guess Orleans is ok, but the food is mediocre and pricey. Soleil Cafe would be good, if it were ever open.

Sorry, I'm feeling ornery. I should stop now before I get banned from the Davis community. I love Davis, I'm just feeling down on it lately. Lot's of good things lost in the past few years...

Deli-icious is the former Nick's(?) Roast Beef place up on College Ave. Haven't tried it yet.

Despite the ridiculous name ...

I've tried Deli-icious once, and I like it. The guys behind the counter were super friendly, the portions were ginormo, and the sandwich I had was very good. And they deliver. So far, I'm a fan!

I wouldn't mind knowing more about the ownership, but I haven't gotten the chance to ask.

I agree that a general-interest restaurant would be nice - something with a menu like the Greenhouse in Harvard Square, where you can get breakfast, sandwiches, big salads, soups, and some more dinner-like things. Coffee shops/lunch counters like this are plentiful in New York City, and in other Boston neighborhoods as well. Something with waitstaff.

I find Deli-licious to be too much like a sub shop - of which there are plenty. Rosebud - either you love it or hate it, but it is too expensive for the food quality in my opinion.

Years ago, Bob Gregory, owner of Redbones, proposed to open something like this at the corner of Elm and Chester streets. His model was the Mount Vernon Restaurant in East Somerville. I believe he got all the necessary permits, but ultimately decided not to proceed. Eventually Diva opened in that locatio instead.
