I’ve made two successful trips back to Boston this summer. Lots of emotion,  no tears though. My trips used to be to visit my Nana. She has gone on to a better place. Now my visits are to a city that I have grown to love. I am not a steak person, but I am a food person. This restaurant is known for steak, there surf and turf options are on point as well. Started with a mojito, mint was muddled well.  The calamari was amazing,  first time I ever had it tossed with hot cherry peppers. I had a caesar salad, the dressing was just right, keeping the lettuce nice and crisp. I went with cod, I usually have salmon. It was great, had a citrus flavor, with pieces of grapefruit included. My date had a steak, NY sirloin,  enjoyed every morsel of it. We had creamed spinach as a side. It was very tasty, not to creamy. I saved room for dessert. Creme brulee,  it was divine. Just a few berries on top, yum! The service was amazing, very attentive and helpful.

I am looking forward to going to ine in New York to compare the food and service.

I love a date night, a Monday is a wonderful way to start the week off. The mac and cheese is all the rave here, that’s what drew me in.  I ordered a drink with tequila,  my liquor of choice. It was called the Sweet Kipper, it was divine. My date had a mint lemonade served in a mason jar, he’s not drinker. It was good too.  For appetizers we both ordered deviled eggs(not enough to share), cornbread and calamri. The eggs were great they were served with toast.  The cornbread was hot, served in the pan and came with savory butter.  Our main courses were meatloaf and chicken schnitzel, both with spinach amd mac and cheese. The meatloaf was super moist. The spinach was still hot and had just enough garlic. The mac and cheese was really rich and very tasty. My schnitzel was cooked perfectly. Schnitzel is usually chicken or pork pounded out super thin, breaded and fried to a crisp.  No room for anything else, we were both stuffed.

I went back to this place for happy hour, I wanted to try the grilled wings. They were so worth the trip. I will go back again.

Yay, I graduated this week. Let the celebrations begin.  First stop after commencement, City Lobster and Steak. We arrived at lunchtime and were seated after a five minute wait. As a happy surprise there was a lunch pre fixe for $24.50. An appetizer and entree. We had the caesar salad and calamari as appetizers. They served hot rolls with butter or olive oil.  A lobster roll, jumbo shrimp with penne, salmon with horseradish crust, angus strip and fish and chips were the entrees. The salad was tossed with the right amount of dressing, it had shredded carrots and purple cabbage. The calamari crust was seasoned nicely. The aioli was a thai chili lime with ginger and basil, it was very tasty.  The crust on the fish was crispy and thick. The lobster roll was lots of lobster.  The steak was cooked well, the whipped potatoes were light and the spinach had a nice flavor. The sauce for the shrimp and pasta was very flavorful.  The crust on the salmon had the right amount of kick. We ordered two desserts,  Keylime pie and Chocolate Bourbon pecan pie served with vanilla ice cream. The keylime was light and airy. The pecan was just the right amount of chocolate.

I ordered a vanilla ginger martini. I loved it.

The waiter sang congratulations and brought out a spakler with my dessert. I thought was really nice. I love good service.

I have no complaints about anything. Everything was served hot and fresh. I would absolutely go back.
