At Your Service: Restaurants Going the Extra Mile to Make Your Night Special

Cuchi Cuchi offers Tarot card readings Tuesday evenings

By Naomi Kooker

Perfect service at dinner is memorable, but when a restaurant offers more bang for your buck or anything extra, a night out is even more appealing. For instance, hit Hungry Mother (617-499-0090) or Area Four (617-758-4444) in Cambridge for dinner, and their staff will procure discounted movie tickets for you to the Landmark Kendall Square cinema nearby. No need to pre-order tickets, just ask when you arrive - think of this happy trend as having a dining concierge. Area Four requires you spend a minimum of $15 on dinner, but we think that’s a deal.

If it’s a show or concert you’re after, check out the Regent Theatre in Arlington, which has partnered with Flora (which offers a three-course meal and ticket for $50) and Fusion Taste (featuring a three-course meal and ticket for $40) for a night on the town.

Let’s say you need something bigger, like mapping out your future (or finding your next best meal?). Cuchi Cuchi’s Tarot card reader will oblige for a reasonable fee ($20), Tuesdays only, 7:30-10 PM (617-864-2929). Ah, yes, we see a lot of cocktails and mistletoe for you in your future.
