I've been putting together a list of good moderately priced
restaurants in Boston (near Brookline & Cambridge, since that's
where I live and work).  Either I've had a very good meal there,
or someone else has recommended it highly.

I'd be interested in your comments about these restaurants
if you've had an exceptionally good or bad experience at them
as well as additions (with name, type of food & location).

I'll post an updated list sometime in the future.
