I concluded my restaurant week at 209 Boston. I liked the atmosphere; the singer/pianist was a tad loud. (That, or were we a bit too close.) Dinner was fine.
Marinated asparagus with “nature’s best herbs”. Three delicious spears, the herbs matched very well. Happy. Bread was good too.
Skate grenonbloise with cauliflouwer and caper emulsion. The texture was very memorable and it matched fabulously with all the pieces on the dish.
Meyer lemon tart, coconut, meringue. It was a bit sweet for me but the worst part was that the tart was either frozen or too cold. For a good while my spoon had no way of breaking the tart apart. It was a pity, since the dessert was better enjoyed with all of the parts in the same bite.
Overall it was a fair experience though I’m not rushing to go back. Of the four places I visited last week, Davio’s and Brasserie Jo were by far my favorites. In particular, I look forward to having lunch at Davio’s soon.
