Boston Restaurant Week is actually two weeks long and ended last Friday. About 200 restaurants had special menus, about $20 for lunch and $30 for dinner. Some people complain it's not the real experience of the restaurant, others think it's a great way to try places you've been meaning to. I did one dinner and 3 lunches. All were quite good.
Dinner at Beacon Hill Bistro
Salade Saucisson - House-Made Sausage with Warm Potatoes and Shallot Vinaigrette
Baked Pasta with Tomato, Rapini, Ricotta, and Eggplant Caviar
Claufouti of Pineapple and Armagnac - was a pineapple bread pudding
Lunches at:
Top of the Hub
Sweet Potato Soup
Pan Seared Salmon with Chorizo & Rock Shrimp Crust,
Crème Brulee
Blu
Sweet Potato Leek Soup
Pan Seared Salmon with quinoa, grilled asparagus, oranges & mushroom vinaigrette
Bittersweet Chocolate Cake
Oishii Boston
Crispy Tuna Pancake with Arugula Salad
Maguro, Salmon and Ishitai (Snapper?) Shushi with Catepillar Maki
Ginger Ice Cream
So what did you think of the food?
ReplyDeleteAs I said, all were quite good. I'd go back to any of them. Top of the Hub was fine, but on a clear day the view is really great. I should have added that Oishii was amazing. Perhaps the best sushi I've had. Their normal lunch is $26 so not too bad.
