May 10, 2011 The Clam Box

It is going to be my summer time project this year to try as many clam shacks as possible. We started off the season in April at the Clam Box, before it got super busy. Located in Ipswich, MA this place is what seems like miles from the main highway. Parking was tough outside, and […]

May 4, 2011 Stephanie’s on Newbury

While I have mixed feelings about Stephanie’s, I have to admit that I do love their Irish Soda Bread with the salted butter. SO good! We arrived at about 1:30 on Friday. People were sitting outside on the patio with blankets on. I feel like, if you have to sit outside with a blanket on, […]

May 4, 2011 Rovezzis

We met my cousins here for lunch on the rainy Saturday before Easter. I’m sure that for dinner, this place gets really crowded because there aren’t that many dining or bar options in the area. The restaurant had a nice bar area. Downstairs was a small dining room and they had additional seating on the […]

April 25, 2011 Darryl’s Corner Kitchen

I had a little deja vous when I walked into Darryl’s Corner Kitchen. It didn’t even occur to me (until we got there) that I had been here years ago, with the same friend, when it used to be Bob the Chef’s. I had a ruelala coupon that was $40 towards food and non alcoholic […]

April 25, 2011 Cheeseboy

Grilled Cheese….it’s so in right now. Enter Cheeseboy-located in South Station. Made to order, using fresh ingredients.  The menu is pretty simple and straight forward, 4 choices of bread, 5 choices of cheese, and a handful of meat and veggie options. We made a special trip to South Station, just for the grilled cheese. Seats […]

April 19, 2011 Lumiere

We were the first ones to arrive at the restaurant when we showed up at 5:30pm on a Monday evening. The place started to get busier by the time we were served our main course. Lumiere is an upscale (but dress is business casual) restaurant located in West Newton serving fine French cuisine. The decor […]

April 11, 2011 Cafe Fleuri-The chocolate buffet

Our friends, Phil and Sara have birthdays about a week apart. We decided that this year we would take them to the chocolate buffet at the Langham hotel since they are both wild about chocolate. Not until we met them that morning did we find out that they had already been there this year-regardless, they […]

April 11, 2011 Scollay Square

Scollay Square is located in Beacon Hill-near the State House, at 21 Beacon Street. The Legendary Restaurant Group also owns Max and Dylans and Papagayo, as well as Tavern on the Waterfront. It’s a small neighborhood kind of place-great for a casual bite with friends or a drink after work. The appetizers all looked great-it […]

March 31, 2011 Woodward at the Ames Hotel

I bought a buywithme.com coupon for a three-course prix fixe dinner plus a cocktail for two for $80. Wary of prix fixe dinners, I bought one anyway. Met a friend there on a Tuesday night, at 7:30, the after work crowd was still going at full tilt. The music was blaring and we sat at […]

March 31, 2011 Asana (2nd visit)

I went back to Asana for the second time in a month, just to see if I really did like it there as much as I thought I did. They were running their restaurant week menu the whole month of March. I went in with best intentions of ordering off the restaurant menu week, but….in […]
