Favorite Upromise Restaurants in Boston

11-23-2008 04:35 PM

Can anyone recommend good restaurants in the Upromise program in the Boston area?  My family eats out quite a bit (at least 1-2 times a week).  I've been to some bad and to some good restaurants already...so far these are my favorites:

 

Pizza: Crazy Dough’s...in Harvard Square in Cambridge.  Really good stuff.  Kinda like Sweet Tomatoes or Upper Crust if you've been to either but more variety.

 

 

Burritos: Baja Fresh...not my favorite (anna's taqueria is much better, but not bad and I go there to earn Upromise $.

 

Italian: Ivy...fun place downtown.  Lots of neat little appetizers and an extensive and affordable wine list.  They even have free gelato for dessert! Good for when you can get a babysitter and have some adult fun.

 

 

Brazilian: Midwest Grill...ok this is really one of my husband's favorites.  All you can eat hunks of barbequed meats.  I must admit the food is good and thy also have good salad bar.  Live music on some nights too.

 

Indian:  Masa...nice upscale Indian restaurant in the South End (I think).  It's been a while.

 

Mexican:  Casa Romero...Get the sangia, you'll be happy :-)

 

Bar/Lounge: Om..swank place in Harvard Square.  I don't recommend the food (it's pricey and nothing to write home about, but its a nice place to relax and meet up with friends.

 

Sushi:  Osushi...I LOVE sushi and this place in Copley Mall is the real deal.

 

I'd love to hear what other people recommend.  I'm always on the lookout for new *good* Upromise restaurants to visit.

This is an awesome list.  I might have to check some of these places out.  A couple others I would recommend are Davios, Avila, and Z Square.  Have you been?

Had a great brunch yesterday at Masa in the South End!  You can make reservations on OpenTable, which is recommended.  The food is delicious Southwestern, sophisticated but reasonably priced.  Three of us ate for under $40 - plus 4% back in Upromise savings.  Can't beat it - enjoy!

Gourmet Curry House in Coolidge Corner is pretty good.
