April 27, 2015 Au Bon Pain

A few weeks ago I was invited to check out the new look (and tastes) at Au Bon Pain. I was pleasantly surprised with the updates that had been made. First the space – open, with traditional seating (with outlets!) and some high top tables. Come in and pick up something on the go, or […]

March 31, 2015 Smokey Bones

A few weeks ago I was invited to the soft opening for Smokey Bones in the North Shore Mall. A great place if you want to go out and grab some beers with friends and catch the game or bring the whole family in for an affordable dinner. The service was good, everyone was friendly […]

March 11, 2015 Dumpling Daughter

Dumpling Daughter opened in November to rave reviews by the Globe. The restaurant is the brain child of Nadia Liu Spellman, Weston native and Babson College graduate. The restaurant is small, it only has about 30 seats – but they also do takeout! Bonus is that you can BYOB and they don’t charge you a […]

February 16, 2015 Gianni’s

On New Year’s Eve, we were looking for a place that would seat 11 of us – and make everyone happy – kids of different ages, adults with different palates etc. So we decided on Gianni’s, which can be hit or miss sometimes. The restaurant is located across the street from the Radisson hotel – […]

February 13, 2015 Mexicado

Mexicado is located at the Hyatt resort, just a few doors down from where we are staying at the Radisson. This Mexican restaurant offers both indoor and outdoor seating and an extensive tequila list. Mexicado is located one level below the lobby next to the Hyatt’s other restaurant, Ruinas del Mar. The decor is simple […]

February 4, 2015 The Flying Fishbone

Last year we went to Old Man and the Sea, and decided that when we came back we would try the Flying Fishbone that was located next door. The restaurant is a good distance away from the high rise hotels, a $32 taxi ride each way from Palm Beach. I love the decor here! The […]
