Wed May 16 05:43:43 -0700 2007 98953 row 1 2573617 Hm, is that a command? Do they care about food or just about people watching? If the former, if it's open for lunch on Saturdays, Boston Public at Louis Boston (the address is Berkeley St. but it's at the corner of Newbury). Pino Maffeo used to cook w/ Patricia Yeo at AZ, I believe. Sort of a rarified, Asian-inflected steakhouse. Bouchee's also a decent choice, w/ streetside patio.

Wed May 16 11:50:18 -0700 2007 2573617 11267 kittychow 2 2575263 I'd vote for Piattini or Bouchee but generally agree that Newbury, while full of eye candy is a dearth of food options. I'd seriously advise against Sonsie. My last 2 visits (there will be no more) were terrible. The produce was dull, and the service was inattentive and just all-around terrible.

If you want to people watch at a trendy restaurant pick any of them with a patio. Mon May 21 11:03:53 -0700 2007 2573601 100153 Boston Scene
