Hi. There is a lot of restaurants at Encore. Any thoughts or recommendations on the best choices? Thanks

Fratelli’s is the best but expensive

All the restaurants there are good from where I have eaten and have heard from other people.

They are all very over priced though.  For Italian go to the North End, many great places at far less cost

Didn't like food at Rare Steakhouse. Know plenty of el cheapos where you can get better meat, let alone Strega or Fogo do Chao. There was some spicy corn side dish that waiter recommended that I thought was good.  

The ambience was good. Pretty. Good for your mamma's birthday. Wouldn't bring a date there though unless she's really not choosy about her food.

There are occasional shoot-outs and stabbings in the area. Keep your head down!

Oh yea no doubt! We got shootouts everywhere here in Boston! In fact they've been bombing the place to no end lately!  

There is an information blockout, called "secret Baker-rule" and that's why nobody heard about it but it's Ukraine my ass! You wanna experience carpet artillery barrage you come to Beantown, pass few Bourbons and get down low! Just make sure that she covers you on top for sheer protection. Remember safety first! lol
