I've been to Union Street a thousand times (used to work about ten minutes
from there), but credit their web site (www.unionst.com/direct.html) for
directions.
Telephone Number is 617-964-6684. I'm not sure if they take reservations.
They have a bar area on the main level and a restaurant downstairs. The
food is very good (ranges from burgers and pizza to full blown meals), and
the prices are reasonable. They also have a room for private parties;
maybe with some better planning on my part next year, we can do something
along that line (I have no idea about cost, availability, etc).
The BC Campus is a couple of miles east down Beacon Street.
