Northwest Restaurants (Burlington, Lexington, Concord, Woburn)??

Other places I like are Lemon Grass in Lexington Center. Good Thai food and friendly service. I've never had a bad meal at Ristorante il Fiorentino on Route 38 in Woburn (right near the Wilmington line), but if you don't get there early, and I mean 5:00pm early, you can wait for up to 2 hours for a table! It's BYOB and cash or checks only. And the portions are huge. Another fave-rave, in a fancier sort of way, is Dalya in Bedford (on routes 4/225 just next to the Bedford Farms ice cream stand - yum!). The atmosphere is French Provincial, as is the food. The service is consistently excellent, the wine list is pretty good. It's owned by the same folks who used to own Le Bellecour in Lexington on Muzzey Street. Enjoy!
There is a very good Korean BBQ restaurant in Burlington on Cambridge St. (Route 3A), near Scoops, which by the way is not really a dining experience (Scoops that is) but they make a great roast turkey sandwich (with stuffing and cranberry sauce) called a Turkey Terrific. In Bedford on 4/225 is Cafe Luigi (I think that's what it's called, so why am I having doubts?). It's a pretty decent Italian restaurant with nice atmosphere. David

As for Kitty's, it should have closed years ago...it's a former shell of itself. Regarding Village Inn - One of the best fried seafood restaurants in the world!!!!!!!! Wins Best of Boston year after year! -gary garysicecream.com
