Yard House Restaurant - Dedham, MA

Location: Legacy Place Dedham, MA
Website: 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 some innocent teasing on the amount of food we ordered. 

The food was delicious and the right temperature. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the chicken entree had a wonderfully creamy mushroom sauce with just the right number of mushrooms in it. The dessert was to die for; rich and creamy and the right size for a sampler. 

All in all, I would give this venue 3 hearts. The company I was with was better than the service and though the food had some originality there was not enough variety.

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...

The Butcher Shop - Boston, MA

Chef Barbara Lynch and her vision never fail to impress me. My companion and I decided to pop into The Butcher Shop on Tremont Street in Boston one night for some steak and wine; we actually had a gift certificate and wanted to use it up :) and we are sure glad we did! I am a steak and potatoes kind of gal and this restaurant was right up my alley. My companion and I were seated immediately upon arrival on the high top bar stools facing the wall of windows that overlooks the streets around Tremont - perfect for people watching and ambiance. The restaurant is absolutely perfect - white linens, sparkling glasses, clean bar, and attentive servers that knew the menu through and through. Our waiter started us off with water poured AWAY from us (something all restaurants should do!!!) and made some comments on the weather and the beautiful night. He recommended a wine and explained his favorite starter. Once he was finished we had to have it -  the artisan cheeses and accoutrements...
