When he called, he was told they were closed and soon to re-open. But birthdays won't wait - so Doug asked the folks at Upstairs for an alternative recommendation. They mentioned Salts and another place called The Dahlia. They told him The Dahlia was jsut up the street, on Mount Auburn Street. Well, we ended up at Rialto - which was lovely. But we cannot find anything like Dahlia. Now we are curious and challenged. Ideas? barbara Mon Dec 02 16:04:36 -0800 2002 0 barbara 1 768381 Sounds like they may have been referring to Daedalus, which is on Mount Auburn.

It is on Mount Auburn St. If so, I think you definitely made the right choice with Rialto. I haven't been myself but have heard (and read) a lot of mixed reviews on Daedulus. Salts is a good spot too though. Mon Dec 02 18:14:24 -0800 2002 768375 0 Maura
