W&G, I must be losing my mind. maybe I'm remembering someplace else that is gone.
sorry for the bum steer!

china_cat - I think that its Jimmy's Harborside that has been torn down. I can understand getting the two confused, they were nearly identical places (same era, same menu, same clientele, same neighborhood)

I have to second Familia Giorgio's. It's great Italian food and the prices are extremely reasonable.. It's a very laid back atmosphere and a great restaurant for kids.

was there just this past weekend and ate at the barking crab. Loved the atmosphere (it's a really cool dive), great yummy food and fun with a live band.

also forgot to say, i had the chowdah (hehe) wherever I went and although most are good, I have to say Legal's near boston park plaza was my favorite (for chowder). Another good place we went to but is pretty $$$ is Harvest in Cambridge.
