All are right off the Rte 3A exits right before the Burlington Mall exit. They are the Capital Grille, L'Andana and Summer - Winter in the Burlington Marriott Hotel. Each of serve a very nice lunch with nice atmosphere too. Fri Oct 31 12:02:56 -0700 2008 4138133 17193 RoyRon 1 4142716 Fecilia's in Stoneham is open for lunch. Not sure about the atmosphere part, but the food is very good Italian Sat Nov 01 11:17:09 -0700 2008 4138133 16991 kate used to be 50 1 4143074 In Wakefield Sushi Island has wonderful sushi incl. some more unusual sushi items. The atmosphere is clean and modern and wood paneled., but not cushy. If chains are o.k.,there is a Panera bread just off rt. 1 in saugus in the marshall's/circuit city mini mall.a very tough search indeed. Sat Nov 01 15:12:35 -0700 2008 4138133 10110 opinionatedchef
