Great Booths
I'm looking for casual restaurants, anywhere within about a half hour drive of the city, with really tall wooden booths, the kind that make you feel like you're in a private room with your dining companions. The kind that you might see at an old school pizza joint. Nothing fancy, just the highest-backed booths I can find.
Great food would be an obvious plus. Any recommendations?

This, and the Tangerino link make me think I didn't do a good job describing what I want. It's not so much that I want a private room, I just want very tall backed wooden booths. It looks like Doyles certainly has these, but any other suggestions for places with a Doyle's-like pub feel, with very tall wooden booths would still be appreciated.

What you're looking for is called a snug -- at least that's what I was told when we stopped for a drink in Portland (ME) at a bar called The Snug, with very high-backed wooden booths. Not sure if they serve food but it's very close to the original Otto.
I am sorry I don't have any recommendations closer to Boston! -

Doyle's, Pleasant Cafe.Pleasant has one of the better pizzas in Boston.

Tangierino in Charlestown has something like this that made me think the folks sitting in them were in private booths, though I didn't sit in one myself:

There's no "roof" though, so it won't feel like you're in a private room but at least there's good food to be had!
