Finally Michael's,

1280 Worcester Road (Route 9), Framingham, 879-7345.

Finally Michael's is a large restaurant that feels very cozy. Low ceilings and book-lined shelves give the feeling of eating in a well-stocked library or den. Roast rack of lamb ($18.95) was eight meaty chops with a crisp crust of bread crumbs mixed with whole grain mustard and rosemary. Seafood tagliatelle is an enormous bowl of red and green pasta strips tossed in a rich lobster-brandy butter and heaped with shrimp, several large, sea scallops, half a lobster tail, a few mussels and clams as well. Other good choices among entrees include grilled mahi-mahi with pineapple salsa and seafood saffron risotto, steak O'Brien, and pan seared salmon fillet with corn crab cake and spiked tomato relish.
