Dinner near the MFA

We are going to the MFA to see the film El Bulli next week. Any thoughts for a dinner after?

    There is not much CH support for it, but we have loved Betty's Wok and Noodle for many years; the shanghai noodles w/ orange chipotle sauce, the curried Rodeo rings and wasabi dressed Cool spicy cuke salad are all unique and terrific.big flavors, well prepared, generous portions, friendly fun environment. corner mass ave and huntington.

      come into Brookline (about a 5 minute drive from the museum) and keep the Spanish theme alive with dinner at Taberno de Haro.

        or if you really wanted some excellent and more diverse spanish food, go to Toro near Mass Ave in the So.End, another 5 min drive from the MFA. Lots of CH support for this place; many threads.

        Second on Toscana. I really like Brasserie Jo, but it arguably stretches the definition of "near."

        The toasted sandwiches, curry fries and fish and chips at The Squealing Pig are all worthwhile if you're looking for a more casual spot.
