Yard House - Fenway Boston

Before heading to a game at Fenway, my friend and I decided to stop into the Yard House for a few drinks and apps beforehand. She had heard reviews about the YARD of beer and of course, I am game for that!

We arrived and were seated right away at a table near the bar even though it was quite busy because of the game. Then it dawned on me, this was the same Yard House as the one in Dedham (sometimes the alcohol does me in!). The menu was a bit different as was the basic set up of the restaurant but the vibe and the bar were still the same. I liked it!
My companion and I ordered the beer (of course!), the Moo Shu egg rolls, and the chicken tinga street tacos. Though the picture on the website and the menu show this:

 What was actually delivered was this:

Still excellent flavor and great combination for a taco but as you can see, very different. There was definitely no condiments or rice served with it and though they were not needed, to display something different than what is received always makes me disappointed. 

I would give the Yard House a consistent and solid 3 hearts -it is good but does not blow my socks off (Red Sox that is!).

Cremeland - Manchester, NH

Cremeland (as the name states) makes you think of ice cream but this place is a lot more. Yes, they have ice cream. Homemade in fact (none of that Blake's crap that some, no names mention GoldenRod, try to pass off like their own homemade ice cream) made by one of the owners himself; the recipe created and followed since the day they first opened more than four decades ago. The flavors change, sometimes based on customer or employee suggestions, and sometimes just with the freshest ingredients that are available when a new batch is ready to be made. And yes, this is the same Cremeland that you may have seen on TV when a show was done about the unbelievably delicious fried dough ice cream sundae. But this review is more than about their ice cream. This small drive-in restaurant is not in the best part of Manchester, NH. Yes, the outside is not always clean and easy to look at but the owners of Cremeland are constantly washing down the order windows, the outside eating tables, and e...

Temazcal Cantina - Boston

This place was an unexpected pleasure. They are known for offering over 300+ different types of tequila so of course we had to check it out! We were greeted immediately when walking into the door and down the hallway to the hostess station. There our names were taken and we were directed down to the back of the restaurant to the bar. Being cold outside we were unable to appreciate the floor to ceiling panels that opened up to Boston Harbor/water so we must come back.  The wait at the bar for a drink was a bit long because it was quite busy with other customers. Unfortunately with so many delicious cocktails and the wide variety of tequilas (including the ornate bottles they come in), it took the average customer a bit longer to determine what they wanted to drink.  We did not have to wait long and were seated at a roomy table for four - there were three of us - and handed our menus. Yup, they are i-pads!!! Pretty creative AND you could see a picture of every drink and e...

Yard House Restaurant - Dedham, MA

Location: Legacy Place Dedham, MA W ebsite: http://www.yardhouse.com/menus/snacks.aspx Items Ordered: Sweet Potato Fries, Moo Shoo Egg Rolls, Parmesan Crusted Chicken, Mac & Cheese2, and the Mini Trio Sampler Upon entering the Yard House, I was genuinely surprised to find the environment that I saw around me. The Yard House is situated as part of the Legacy Place shops near PF Chang's and a number of other cookie-cutter type of places and shops. Though the Yard House has numerous locations,it feels anything but.  A fancy bar sits in front of the entrance with a TON of beers on draft and friendly bar service. You can choose from a variety of martinis too (which my date and I did of course!). We were seated in an extremely comfortable leather type covered settee and table near the kitchen. Our waitress was very knowledgeable of most of the menu items and could recommend her favorites. Though I did feel she was flirting a bit with my date, she tried to hide it nicely with so...
