       I had one of the best meals of my life at Lydia Shire's
       restaurant Biba. It was a nice combination of a unique
       menu and great execution. Great service, wonderful decor,
       and a very nice, very reasonable wine list. If it's still
       good, don't miss it. Bring your $$. I haven't been there
       in 3 years.

       Hey 'Stonians, is Jasper's still in business, and is it still
       good? That was a neat place, with the emphasis on regional
       cooking at the time.

 Jasper's is still around, still $$, and still prepares some of the
 best seafood in town.  It's on the Waterfront, and if you decide you'd
 liek to pay a little less for your meal and get a more casual dining
 environment, walk three blocks up to Hanover Street and wait in line for
 a table at The Daily Catch.  (As a former denizen of the North End, I had the
 opportunity to survey a handful of the eateries as my wallet would allow.)

 If you've got your heart set on a  $$ meal, I'd send you to Hammersley's
 Bistro in the South End.  Delightful food, absolutely impeccable service
 and a pleasing environment. Caveat: you'll need reservations, and you'll need to
 reconfirm them the day you plan to dine.

 Willing to drive in the area? Then try Dali, a genuine tapas restaurant
 on the Cambridge/Somerville line.  Sangria, marinated olives, and an incredible
 range of wonderfully prepared tapas - plus traditional entrees.
