Back Bay birthday dinner for College Students
I'm turning 19 and want to have my birthday dinner someplace CH would approve of within a mile or so from Northeastern. It'd be me and 5 or so of my friends. Any recs?
Some notes:
The people I'll be eating with aren't exactly "with it" when it comes to food. Two of them have chosen to have celebratory dinners at everyone's favorite Cheesecake Factory within the past year. I want a place they can enjoy, but isn't a death trap.
We're all underage and won't be spending money on drinks. I'd prefer a place that isn't pretentious, and won't treat us differently because of our ages. I know a lot of places automatically reserve their worst service for college students.

Trattoria Toscana has great, reasonably priced Italian. Only downside is it is a bit small and doesn't take reservations, so there could be a long wait for a party of 6.

I’m not sure what “CH” means, but Myer’s + Chang may be a good option. The food is somewhat hit or miss, but it has some good items and a good atmosphere for your group. The Franklin Café and Masa are also good options.

Good recs already. I'd add Gaslight which is a fun reasonably priced place and in the same style food, Petit Robert Bistro is all <$20 but not as "fun" an atmosphere. Unadventurous people can always get steak frites or a fish dish. Brasserie Jo is another option altho a tad pricier. -
