Restaurant Week
Boston 2013

Bistro 5

March 27th, 2013

Malden, MA

Abstract

Bistro 5 became a restaurant week choice in a game of point and click!  Wanting to find another restaurant but tired of putting in the effort of pouring over menus that just weren't meeting our needs as a diverse trio, Nick and Tara tried the "How about THIS!?" and dropped a finger on the scrolling mobile Boston Restaurant Week app.... Who knew that our game of chance would land us on a  menu that looked FANTASTIC right from the get go?! So we got our reservations on OpenTable and off to Malden we went!

 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!

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!

Our Wintry Burger Trip 

   Plan♦B Burger Bar

    10/29/2011 Simsbury CT

Abstract

Plan B brought us a great atmosphere, genuinely nice and fun wait staff and comfort food that delivered on taste.  We all agreed this would be a return destination for us in the future.  Hopefully next time the weather will be nicer.
