We have gone to LaBrasa to get a couple of tacos and a glass of wine, and do like it. But it is very loud and the rest of the menu is too expensive for us and the bar seats are very uncomfortable. We basically go out to get a snack and have 60 to 90 minutes away and perhaps discuss things we don’t want the teen to overhear, and that’s it! We have found Legal at the Mystic to be OK…they don’t mind if you split an appetizer and if you go early, it’s not too loud or too crowded (yes, it is Legal, however). We like the Greek salad with chickpeas and the teen at home does like us to bring back a hot dog for him. Once in a while they have special appetizers that we have really enjoyed (there was a grilled scallop appetizer with peas and pea greens recently that was very good and very reasonably priced).
What are you other favorite spots? Want to be sure we aren’t missing anything. We have tried Brownyn’s several times but not lately…maybe time to try again. Definitely Dosa n’curry, without wine (we can have a glass of wine when we get home). We don’t like the Independent but have ended up there more often than we’d like. We even went to that horrible East End Grille a few times out of desperation before they thankfully closed.
