Last night my husband and our favorite travel buddies Denise + Frank, all went to a fancy dinner at L’Espalier in Boston. Wow, there must have been something in the food and/or the wine because the 3 of them kept laughing, especially my husband who had red eyes at the end of the night from […]
Loco Tapas just opened up 6 months ago and we LOVED it. The owner owns “crazy chefs caterers” and visited Barcelona and the Basque wine country in summer of 2006 and decided to open up this restaurant! He is pretty bold and we admired his adventurous spirit! He is a CIA trained chef and the […]
Scott and I made the very wise decision to go to Michael Mina for dinner before seeing the “O” Cirque Du Soleil show at the Bellagio. Scott went all out with his trio choices. He started with the trio of prosciutto, then the trio of japanese snapper, then we shared the trio of chocolate! I […]
big fish in providence
We went to “Big Fish” for dinner last Sat in Providence, RI. Wow, this place’s interior is like a designer’s dream, cool funky bathrooms with flatscreens playing animated movies, funky seaweed light fixtures, gigantic fish mural with 2-D frame, wait, need to talk food now! I got the 1.25 pound boiled lobster […]
This place was a very very nice surprise! We were hungry, it was 6:15pm on a Sat, and all the OPs were out and about. The valet parking guy said the wait was 30-45 min at the StoneForge in Foxboro, but when we got inside we were told 1 hr, 20 min. We grudgingly decided […]
What a surprise this place was for my mom and myself. We walked in without a reservation around 7pm on a Sat, and the hostess sat us in 5 min even though anyone else who came in had to wait 20 min. Amazing, maybe they saw a mother/daughter pair and wanted us to feel special! […]
This is a shot of the baby Chocolate cake I ordered (second time I ate at Fava in 3 weeks), it was delicious but a little toooo sweet at the end. My main meal was the Almond Crusted Trout with Pancetta (second time I ate it) but the best was the butternut squash […]
We went here for dinner last Wed after wandering around the MFA for free. I got the chicken coconut soup (so delicious) to start, along with sharing the combo app (amazing). For dinner I had the seafod pad thai which was so spicy and yummy at the same time that I kept sweating profusely but […]
This meal at Mikla was July 27, 2006 - but we can still recall all the minarets lit up for a religious holiday that night, and the incredible view of the city from the seventh? floor of the Pera Hotel. The food was like something we could get at a swanky place in Boston, but […]
Check out the 3-course prix fixe menu that we enjoyed on Sun, Aug 20, 2006 with my in-laws and close friends of ours. The majority did the wine-pairing, which made this an incredible bargain. My fav was the wild mussel chowder, yummy - light not too heavy on the cream. plentiful and tender mussels, plus […]
