I happily announce that this is the first Boston Restaurant Week I am able to participate in. Aquitaine was my first destination–a lunch on Monday, March 5, 2007. The decor brought a smile and I was very excited. The Restaurant Week menu also made ordering very easy.
Appetizer: A simple salad with goat cheese and walnuts. The vinaigrette and goat cheese were very nice; the walnuts were perfectly toasted but couldn’t hide the fact that some of the greens were showing signs of wilt-age.
Main: Pan-fried cod and lentils. The lentils were incredible–with savory pieces of bacon, wrapped in a subtle a fuity olive oil. I wasn’t crazy about this particular way of preparing cod, though it was enjoyable when eaten with the lentils.
Dessert: Profiterole. The vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce were great. The puff itself, not so great.
