Re: Greater Boston
For you folks who live west, west of Boston there is Filho's Cuccina, a great little place in Groton that serves mostly Italian food. It's simple, crazy busy with no atmosphere but it's cheap and the food is great. There's also a decent little wine shop next store to pick up something if you show up on the spur of the momment.
http://www.filhoscucina.com/home.asp
Also in Groton is Gilson's Herb Lycium. They are open only on Friday and Saturday nights and require reservations. The place sits only about 30-35 people. The menu is hit or miss and posted monthly.

Re: Greater Boston
Just in case nobody noticed, I added a line to the restaurants in Boston regarding the illegality of operating a BYO restaurant. Contact your restaurant before arriving with wine.

Re: Greater Boston
A bit of a haul from in town, but always worth it. The Crystal Quail run by Harold and Cynthia Huckaby is an amazing experience. Five course priced fixed in the middle of nowhere Center Barnstead NH in an 18th century farmhouse with a small dining room that fits no more than 16-20 at a time. Only BYO, no list or other drinks. Bring your own glassware. A special place that is always unforgettable. http://www.crystalquail.com/home.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Also, to add to the list,here is a cool byo link for boston http://www.gobyo.com/index_B.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;![cheers [cheers.gif]](./images/smilies/cheers.gif)

Re: Greater Boston
The Yama suggestion above is a great one - fully BYO and in my opinion unbeatable sushi for the price. Not cheap, but much cheaper than the trendy joints in town

Re: Greater Boston
T.W. Food in cambridge does allow BYOB unofficially
they charge $25 corkage, call ahead to make reservation and mention byob.
The place is too small for offline, but great place for couples, food is generally excellent.

Re: Greater Boston
In the town of Wellfleet on Cape Cod (outer Cape - 2 hours from Boston - all seafood places BTW)
Mac's - down by harbor on beach, very casual, picnic tables, NOT Mac's Shack near downtown which has a B&W licence. Bring your own glassware.
PJ's - Rte 6 - very fish and chips type place, bring your own glassware
Moby Dick's - Rte 6 - the fanciest of the 3, which isn't saying much, but the other 2 really fall into the fried seafood realm as a speciality and this place has more varied cooking styles. They have glassware but advise to bring your own. Packed on weekends after 6P, long waits.

Hi guys, guess what? I've moved back to Boston after 5 years in Philly!!!
Need to get readjusted to a lot of things...lobster rolls in stead of cheesesteaks, decent wine shops instead of a crappy state-controlled monopoly, and I'm constantly finding myself driving in the wrong lanes (amazing what you forget in 5 years).
Please let me know if anything is in the offing wine-wise...

Moody’s Delicatessen and Provisions in Waltham (strangely enough, on restaurant row on Moody St), which has been getting a lot of hype for it's killer sandwiches and house-made charcuterie, is opening a wine bar/restaurant in back in April:

Is there any BYOB around here anymore? I've been here 3 months, and not a single BYOB meal yet. I'm getting bored...

Rosalina's Worcester. No corkage fee. Huge portions of very good, robust, made-from-scratch southern Italian in a cheerful down-home setting. Wednesday is 'build your own' night. Besides the menu, you can choose two meats (I had sausage and clams), three additions (pimento, spinach, parmesan), sauce (marinara) and pasta (linguini). Serviceable clunky wine glasses, bring your own if you're bringing a special bottle.

That 30 seat rule if it stays will be better than now but just a start.

Unfortunately, there are probably not a lot of fine dining restaurants that have only 30 seats in the outlying neighborhoods. Small, ethnic restaurants sure, but places you want to bring a some very nice bottles of wine?
It's a pity these city councilors couldn't research a place like Philly, where BYOB has had a massively positive impact on the restaurant business, before make up rules off the tops of their heads.
Even in Philly, where this has been going on a long time, there are not a lot of great BYOB restaurants in the <30 seat category. Although there are some, such as Top Chef Nick Elmi's 22-seat Laurel (several month waiting list for reservations) and 28-seat Bibou (which Robert Parker called the best French bistro outside of France).
