Young Adults group for pre-Valentine's day dinner

[ts44]

I'm hunting for your advice for a group dinner for 15 the evening before Valentine's day. I'd like to keep entres under $20, but someplace worth getting dressed up for.
Thank you in advance.

hey there. what area are you looking for? boston proper or oustide (cambridge, somerville, jp, etc?)

[ts44]

We can be flexible as anything outside of our usual Belmont/Lexington/Arlington is great- your options above are all feasable. I also should note that this group tends to be a little shy about adventurous places. They don't turn my suggestions down, but they are hesitant. Thanks!

Dressing up and entrees <$20 aren't usually so compatible. Altho you can obviously dress up any time. Maybe Pops in the south end, Union too tho that's mostly above $20 except for apps and sandwiches. Eastern Standard in Kenmore Sq. would make sense, lots of items in that range and nothing too much above $25. Also Petit Robert Bistro in the south end (a little more space).

I second Eastern Standard. If you order right you can definitely keep things at a reasonable price. It's a great room and would be appropriate for dressing up.

Thanks so much.. I myself have been looking for an opportunity to visit ES as I hear so many wonderful things about it. Glad it can work in this situation.
