Local restaurant.com recommendations?

[Tir_na_nOg]

Are there any Boston-area restaurants on restaurant.com (discount coupons for dining) that are particularly worth trying? The only two I know and generally like are Kashmir and Elephant Walk.

A bit worried that only restaurants that are desperate for customers (possibly for good reason) are on sites like this.

Abbodanza in Everett
Diva in Davis might be worth a shot. I have only eaten there once but enjoyed it.

Dante and Brasserie Jo are also on the list (I think Brasserie Jo was recently added). We haven't been to either, but the board seems pretty positive on both.

We like El Paisa (Colombian) in East Boston.

Pescatore in Somerville (ball square) is very good, as well.

It's been a while since I've been to Porto Bello in Wakefield but I've had some fantastic meals there in the past.

Mama Blanca's and/or Pupuseria Mama Blanca looks like it would be worth a try. Not much chat here about it, except for a brief mention by MC Slim JB.

I've had mostly good meals at Bistro 5 in Medford.

Midwest Grill in Cambridge (Brazilian Rodizio/ all you can eat meat) is in there and I think it is pretty good.

North of Boston, Habesha (in Malden) and Bistro 5 (in Medford) are both really good (but very different from each other!). Exchange St Bistro (Malden) is good for drinks and apps, but IMO the entrees are not consistently good.

My hubby also liked Paisano Restaurant in Waltham.
