July 15, 2015 Shanghai Jade

Shanghai Jade opened up in the old Zenna Noodle Bar space. While we ordered take out, we picked it up and we noticed that the space doesn’t seem like it is finished being decorated – like the college dorm room of restaurants. We ordered the pan friend raviolis (6 for $6.50) which were just average. […]

July 7, 2015 Besito

We met my mom for lunch at Besito is Chestnut Hill. A great spot in the Chestnut Hill Mall. It’s a chain, but you’d never know it. Besito translates into “Little Kiss” and serves up delicious Mexican cuisine. We get the table side guacamole ($9.95) to start. The camarones ajillo ($22.95) is one of my […]

July 2, 2015 The Barking Claw

I have seen The Barking Claw’s cart for some time outside in Grumpy’s Pub’s parking lot. To be honest, my first thought was: lobster from a cart? How good could that be? How fresh is it? Did it come from a plastic tub? But then I thought, if the lobster rolls weren’t delicious, I wouldn’t […]

July 1, 2015 Steve’s Pizzeria

Steve’s Pizzeria is where the locals go for pizza. If you eat in, know that there isn’t a lot of ambiance – if you’re looking for more of a restaurant feel, head over to Stone L’oven across the street. Steve’s offers take out and delivery as well. We love the pepperoni pizza there, well done of course! Steve’s […]

June 25, 2015 Anejo

Anejo opened in Falmouth on Main Street in 2010 and it’s been packed ever since. The restaurant offers Mexican cuisine and has a great outdoor patio – perfect for people watching during the summer afternoons (they have heat lamps for those nights when it can get a little cool). We had a late lunch on a Saturday […]

June 18, 2015 Brio

I met Caroline for lunch mid week – we laughed as I said, “So this is what it feels like to be a lady of leisure”….not quite. Brio at lunch time was pretty quiet and the clientele was of an older crowd, a much older crowd. The restaurant is part of the new Chestnut Hill […]

June 16, 2015 Post 390

We had a guest in from out of town and we decided to spend the day walking around the Public Garden and Beacon Hill. Before we headed over there, we stopped at Post 390 for lunch. I started off with a Cranberry lime rickey ($5.50) that was tart, but I wish that the cranberry flavor […]

I was invited to preview Bonefish Grill in Westwood, in the newly developed University Station. Bonefish opened on June 1 and offers a casual dining experience for those looking for fresh seafood. The restaurant has a great patio and a large bar area. We went on a Saturday afternoon for lunch. We were greeted by our […]
