While you may feel like a grown-up by taking your date out for a round of cocktails and sambusas (fried dumplings, $7) after a performance at the neighboring Boston Ballet, it's pretty hard to ignore that sexy Addis also appeals to the kid in each of us. The straw tables and low, stool-like chairs hark back to the days of childhood tea parties, and the simple fact that you can eat with your hands can turn even the most mature college student into a grinning gradeschooler. The delicious dishes—a large variety of meat, fish, and vegetarian entrees—are served with generous amounts of fluffy, white injera, a spongy crepe-like bread that doubles as your utensil. The combination plates (starting at $15) are the perfect way to try different entrees, but most options are already a steal at $7-11. After the sweet honey wine ($5/glass, $20/bottle), sober up with a cup of after-dinner coffee—you won't find a better caffe mocha anywhere else. Reservations accepted for 5 or more, otherwise expect a wait on weekends. Established in 1988. This section contains information from Harvard Student Agencies' Unofficial Guide to Life at Harvard.

A hidden gem in the South End that serves cocktails and oysters! From their website: In 2003, Barbara opened B&G Oysters providing the city with a classic yet stylish oyster bar. At the center of the dining room of this subterranean restaurant is an open kitchen surrounded by a white marble bar and black bar stools. Cool blue and grey tiles accented by stainless steel lend a calming oceanic aura to the space while the funky music playing keeps the mood fun and social. The menu offers exquisitely fresh seafood including a daily selection of 12+ oyster varieties, ready to be shucked, New England classics like lobster rolls and fried clams, and Mediterranean-inspired dishes. The selective and reasonably priced wine list features a number of whites and sparklers as well as a selection of smooth reds that compliment shellfish and seafood. Never tried a Gigamoto? No worries. This is a staff that loves their mollusks and bivalves: they can discuss oysters the way other servers might discuss a fine wine, able to describe a particular oysters origin, flavor profile, and farming method.
