Restaurant week in Boston
 

Tonight I'm dining with friends in the South End at Sibling Rivalry.
Has anyone been there. If so what did you like?

I ate there a few times a few years ago. I can't remember what I ate but I did enjoy it a lot, as did the others at the table. The menu has offerings written in two different colors--one color represents the dishes of one "sibling" and the other color of the other. So you have two different styles--can mix or match apps and entrees. Very good restaurant. Bon appetit!

Thanks CW, The food was good, the place noisy and the service so so,but I understand that on restaurant week. The servings were small, IMHO and I would have preferred to sit outside but was outvoted.

Glad you enjoyed it despite the drawbacks to eating out during restaurant week. Too bad you didn't get to sit outside. It was the perfect evening for it.

I ate at Sibling Rivalry once and had a very enjoyable experience. Have read dissenting opinions at Chowhound and elsewhere about this place (some of them vehemently negative), but I had no complaints.

Have you tried my favorite neighborhood restaurant,
The Rendezvous/ He doesn't participate in restaurant week. There's an article on him(steve johnson) in today's Boston Globe.

I read about Rendezvous in today's paper and it sounded excellent. I'm adding it to my list.

Sorry it was not as good an experience as it could have been. I also hate missing an opportunity to eat outside when the chance for that comes so rarely here. Too bad you were outvoted!

I find it really hard to understand the rationale of giving smaller portions, etc, if a restaurant is participating. Isn't the whole point to get people to come back when things are full price? If they give small portions and so-so service how is a person enticed to return?
