Most of the restaurants in Somerville that immediately come to mind are all pretty noisy: Verve, Ciao Bello, Fillippo's, Origin. If you can get a spot upstairs at La Scala, that might be suitable for you.

Aside from Somerville, you can try Pheasant's Landing in Hillsborough. We finally tried it a week or two ago, and found the indoor room very pleasant.

There's also a Japanese restaurant in Bridgewater near the Commons (sorry, the name escapes me right now) that would fill your needs if you don't sit at a hibachi table or the sushi bar. It's a very pleasant place.

Hope this at least gives you a start!

LA PRINCIPESSA on Route 27 in Kingston comes to mind; nice Italina wine list, and very good food in a cozy trattoria atmosphere.

In New Brunswick try Stage Left, Soho on George or Panico's. Was not thrilled with Pheasant's Landing.

Ixora--Route 22--near Ryland Inn--Japanese-French--very good.

I recently had dinner at Makeda in New Brunswick. They serve Ethiopian food and I was very tentative about it before going. However, the food was very good, good enough that I'd gladly go back, and the sound level in room was great for people wanting to talk without yelling at one another.
