Lunch near the Arnold Arboretum

[FionaJane]

Visting the Arboretum on Tuesday morning with two girlfriends. Any suggestions locally for a fun lunch after our visit?

Doyle's on Washington Street is an institution. Anything lacking in the food (which is fine) is more than made up for by the atmosphere.

If you eat in the oldest part where the bar is. The rest of the rooms don't have the atmosphere.

Bon Savor.

El Oriental de Cuba would feel more fun though, I think.

Centre Street Cafe in JP is a funky, offbeat place with decent food.

Good lord, you'd be better off across the street at the Galway House or down the street at Costello's. Centre Street Cafe is overrated, overpriced, overpopulated, overly sweet crap.
