Suggestions for High School Graduation dinner?

[CB1822]

Hi,,my son is graduating Thursday in West Roxbury. Including siblings/parents/grandparents et al, we will be a party of 7. Any suggestions on where to go that may be different/unusual/, fun for a 18 year old male....plus his family? Anywhere in Boston or suburbs is welcome. Thanks a lot,,,,,

My son really enjoyed Dali.

If you want to stay local and lower key, I like Sophia's Grotto, Porter Cafe and Redd's in Rozzy. These may be your local places and want something a bit more upscale. ESK and ICOB are are good suggestions. I've found Gaslight to be only OK. Tapas places might be fun (Estragon, Taberna de Haro).

While I also don't LOVE Gaslight, it is serviceable, and has parking, a big plus for those coming from out of town. The tapas idea is also quite nice, with the ability to taste many different menu items.

Agreed on the local suggestions, and would add Masona Grill for bistro food with a Peruvian influence (ceviche, lots of grilled meats), or West on Centre for standard American fare.

I think Eastern Standard would feel special while still being fun and not break the bank. I also think Gaslight in the south end could work for French food (and they have a parking lot). There are all the new places by the water if you want to spend $$ (Del Frisco's, Legal), an old place by the water (Meritage) and Island Creek in Kenmore for great seafood in a great room.

Eastern Standard and Gaslight are both excellent suggestions.
