Looking for restaurant suggestions near Boston operah House

[h_taurus]

I'm going to see the Nutckraker at Boston Operah House on Wed. afternoon. Any lunch place suggestions?

Teatro is on the other side of the block too, and are used to accomodating theater schedules.

But not open til 5pm, so no good for an afternoon performance, per the OP

You are so right. I read it too quickly.

The Ivy is just around the corner - OK (not great) Italian-centric small plates, with a really reasonable and nice wine list. Atmosphere is cozy.

Bina Osteria two doors down from the Opera House is supposed to be good (I haven't been) but is very pricey.

Are you going with kids? I took my 8 year old daughter on Sunday afternoon. We opted for Sel de la Terre in the Pru and then took a quick cab over to the Opera House. But her second choice was Gourmet Dumpling House, which would have been much closer.

Have fun! The performance was beautiful.

You're only a few blocks from Marliave, which is a decidedly useful place (especially if you'd want a cocktail).

"Useful" really is the perfect word to describe Marliave. It's big, it's affordable, you can almost always get a table. Its Old Boston feel makes it fun for tourists. It's not flawless, but it's a crowd-pleaser.

And yes, great cocktail menu, even if the execution varies.

Italian in a nice room..Bina..Wahington St

pub food..Max and Dylans..West St

hi priced but good Indian buffet in a nice room..Mantra on Temple

great Thai..Montien on Stuart....be sure to ask for Thai menu..also good sushi

Chinatown is great but you could start a thread on it alone.

Lots of options that are nearby.

Chinatown is always a good suggestion. My choice would be either Shabu Zen or Penang. If you're in the mood for seafood, you're not too far from the Oceanaire Seafood room. Burgers are decent at the Intermission Tavern.

You're within a block or so of all of Chinatown!
