On the first Friday of most months since late 1995, my best friends and I have gone to a different restaurant for dinner. It's sort of the Algonquin Round Table. Without Dorothy Parker. Or the round table.

		130 Dartmouth St, Boston 617-536-6200 Back Bay		Diner Comments: Despite its FF Favorite-earning scores, often hampered by "if only" or "but." Ultimately everyone agreed that you can't go too wrong with pork as it's, well, pork, but quibbles include the menu having "not a ton of selection" and "no interesting pairings" between the cheese, pork, and liquor/beers. What The Salty Pig lacked in selection, it was more than compensated for by the atmosphere of the place. Multiple reviewers mentioned they were impressed with the atmosphere and found it be fun and inviting. Some were upset by the loud music. $$$ [36]
