Looking for a very nice, interesting place to take my parents too for lunch afterwards. Would like to stay on the cheaper side, and a BYOB would be an added bonus. Any thoughts?

BYOBs nearby that are open for lunch include Lourdas (Greek, next to the BM train station) and Cafe Fresko and Mediterranean Grill (in BM, on opposite sides of Lancaster Avenue). Although I have never had lunch there, my pick would be Cafe Fresko. Thu Feb 01 06:36:39 -0800 2007 2248645 11236 vicarious 1 2249047 Love the Mediterranean Grill. I took my 3 yr old to lunch there a few months back and we have an enjoyable, yummy meal. Thu Feb 01 07:53:34 -0800 2007 2248645 13592 isadorasmama 1 2249099 Mediterranean Grill. I love getting a bunch of their small plates, esp the yogurt dipping sauce with scallions. Delish. Thu Feb 01 08:05:48 -0800 2007 2248645 12898 saturninus 1 2249634 My three cents: I can recommend highly Lourdas, Ha Long Bay, and Mediterranean Grill. If you are looking for almost guaranteed fast lunch service, Lourdas is for you... while Ha Long Bay can be iffy. I've only been to MG twice for lunch, but service was fine both times. Thu Feb 01 10:13:56 -0800 2007 2248645 47407 jwbausch 2 2252476 Does Lourdas have a less expensive lunch menu? The dinner menu is not inexpensive at all. Fri Feb 02 06:03:44 -0800 2007 2249634 12898 saturninus 3 2252551 Well, yes. But your definition of less expensive may be different than mine. For dinner my wife and I get out of there frequently for about 50 bucks and I consider that relatively cheap for the Main Line. For lunch, I get a gyro (the same as they serve at dinner for 10 bucks) and it is 7 bucks. Fri Feb 02 06:37:10 -0800 2007 2252476 47407 jwbausch 1 2249681 I enjoy both Mediterranian Grill & Ha Long Bay. Mediterranian is BYOB but I am not sure about Ha long. The Abbriz (lamb slow cooked in a wonderful sauce) at Mediterranian is wonderful. Good atmosphere too. Thu Feb 01 10:22:44 -0800 2007 2248645 11587 Main Line Tracey 2 2249756 All three I mentioned are BYO's.
