You might try a new place in Lexington called Stone Soup and Grille. I haven't been there yet, but the menu looks pretty nice. Eclectic and inexpensive. It's upstairs from VideoSmith. Lemongrass for Thai food is pretty good, and Stone Soup is right across the street. I would stay away from Escadrille, toooo pricey and the food is not that great. For backup, Papa Razzi in Burlington, Bertuccis in both Lexington and Woburn, Outback in Burlington if you are looking for bovine. Lexington also has Vinny Testas, but unless you are coming with an Italian family of no less than six, don't order more than one dish. If you do find yourself in Lexington, stay away from Dabin Japanese/Korean...especially the sushi. When I had sushi there, it was fishy smelling and I got sick. One more tip, for Titanic, see the film at Burlington rather than Woburn. Woburn tried to upgrade to a splashy cinema. The picture quality is poor and the films often have huge scratches on them. Burlington has had consistently good projection, good sound and nice seats. Enjoy the show1
