My husband and I ate at Hamersley's Bistro in the South End last night. We hadn't eaten there before, and the food was awesome! The service was good (not exceptional), noise level was fine, ambiance all right. My only complaint is a lot of lint on the inside and outside of the wine glass which I noticed *before* the wine was poured, thankfully. It was replaced quickly with another glass that still had a little bit of lint but which I didn't notice until after the wine was poured. I don't normally look at the wine glass but this had SO much that it was really obvious and not easily overlooked. We'd go again to eat there because the food was just so very good. Carol P.S. I thought of another restaurant for my list of favorites: Helmund in Cambridge near the Galleria. Great ambiance, wonderful bread, interesting and delicious food, and, being Afghani, a bit exotic, too. A great place to take out-of-town guests.
