Restaurant Week Boston 2013

Masa

March 12th, 2013

Boston, MA

Abstract

We always hem and haw over where to start on restaurant week. There are always so many great options. Masa has been on our list for a few years now and so, we decided this was the year and made reservations... little did we know it was going to snow! But the three of us made it out there (because we're crazy like that) and boy were we not disappointed!

 Restaurant Week
Boston 2013

29 Newbury

March 22nd, 2013

Boston, MA

Abstract

29 Newbury Street was a backup choice for us but the menu seemed to draw us in and it felt like a good choice to try out during Restaurant Week so we booked for a party of 6 and headed up to Tremont Street after a day at PAX East (a gaming con held in Boston every year.) So you'll see some extra foods in this one that we might have a few words to add to but since it wasn't all ours, you might only be getting our experience (though the overall thought was pretty universal...)

Groupon Awesomeness

Elephant Walk

November 11th, 2012

Waltham, MA

Abstract

I had never been to Elephant Walk, although Tara had a couple times.  Neither of us had been to this location in Waltham.  We had a party in town later, a Groupon and no reservation.   We ended up sitting and eating at the bar but had a great time.

Elephant walk is Cambodian and French cuisine.  Many dishes may be labeled one or the other but usually the influences cross path.  Our food was great, with amazing flavor usage of fruit and spices.  I get for sure why Tara likes this place.  I felt every dish was well balanced, and if you like south-asian style food this is a must check for you.

Not that we needed it but they have Vegan and Gluten free menu choices as well, about a third of the menu actually.

A Dinner in Boston 

Estragon

11/15/2011

Boston, MA

Abstract

Estragon was a place we had visited before for restaurant week. It left enough of an impression that we purchased some Groupons in order to make certain we got back.  A great ambiance, a good menu and attentive service is always available. This time we had a little disappointment with some of our food choices but since we chose, we can't always be right on!
