Boston birthday dinner for a child.

I am going to be in Boston in a few weeks for
the 11th birthday of my step-daughter.Where
would you take a little girl for a special meal? Staying in Back Bay.

Fire and Ice might be a good choice for a pre-teen. You pick ut your own food (meat, veggies and sauce) and they cook it for you on a large grill while you wait. Two locations - Cambridge and Back Bay.

Or better yet - just ask her. Kids at that age have very set ideas about what they like and don't like. Its hard to guess what they want. (Speaking as the mom and aunt of ten year old girls)

I second Fire & Ice. Actually, I responded to your request once before and suggested this. The Boston location is at 31 St. James Street at the intersection with Berkeley Street. It's a Mongolian barbeque restaurant and has received excellent reviews. It's also a good place for a picky eater, as you get to select what you want in your stir fry. It's an all you can eat restaurant for $13.75, and has received high marks from the Phantom Gourmet (www.phantomgourmet.com).

Also, the restaurant is across the street from FAO Schwarz, so it would be convenient in case you want to let your daughter also pick out a birthday present. FAO has a huge Barbie department.

Lastly, walk another 2 blocks to One Columbus Avenue to Finale for dessert. All this restaurant serves is scrumptious desserts. It's in the same building as the Park Plaza Hotel.

The other restaurants I would recommend are McCormick & Schmidt, which is also in the Park Plaza Hotel or Legal Seafood which is across the street. Both are fish restaurants.

My last suggestion is Maggiano's, Little Italy which is at 4 Columbus Avenue. This is a great restaurant, especially if you have 4 or more people in your party -- meals are served family style, and it's an all you can eat restaurant, however, you make selections from the menu.
