Lunch for 10, reasonably priced, near North Station, Gov't Center, Beacon Hill etc.

[crosel23]

I work in Charlestown and am in charge of finding a place to have lunch on Wednesday for 10 colleagues of mine. I was thinking a good price range would be approximately 15-18 dollar entrees (obviously setting aside more for drinks, apps, dessert etc.). It doesn't have to be "fancy" but it has to be "yummy." I don't care what kind of food (italian, indian, mexican, american etc.), as long as the food is great! I've found a few...Avila, Grotto, Bambara. Beacon Hill Bistro, Dante, Lala Rokh, Antico Forno. Anybody have anything to say about those, or can you offer any other suggestions?

Thanks!!

You might try the Waterfront Cafe, which has gotten some good reviews - that's the North End. Also, what are your feelings about the Warren Tavern?

Isn't there also a good lunch place in the Naval Annex in C-town? I can't remember the name. (By the way, I think it's Tavern on the Water).

All of these are definitely on the less-fancy, more reasonable side of the scale.

i'd be very surprised if you can get out of avila and dante for that price, even at lunch.

i love lala rokh and will add their sister restaurant bin 26 enoteca to your list.

troquet also does simple lunch well-priced. is that too far?

I'd add Anthem to your already-excellent list.

I will second the Anthem reccomendation. I work nearby, and we often do company lunches there. Reasonably priced, a variety of lunch choices, and a nice atmosphere.

Scollay Square is another place I would add to your list. Definitely right in your price range. Call ahead- the place is very popular during lunch hours.
