Hello everybody!
So over the summer, I attended a summer program in Rhode Island.
(-as most of you guys know.)
After it ended, my mom came to pick me up and we spent a few days in Boston.
The scenery was stunning and the food... breathtaking. :)
We walked near our hotel are and found a little harbor with quaint little restaurants lining the side.
We took a few pictures, and then sat down for some lunch before our flight back to L.A.
The wait for a table wasn't UNBEARABLE, but it took a good 15 minutes of standing there.
(There were no chairs or waiting area.)
We were at a little restaurant called 75 on Liberty Wharf.
RANDOM QUIRCK: sometimes I get a cup of hot water at starbucks and brew my own cup of tea. I think it's because I'm picky when it comes to my hot drinks.
So don't be fooled if I have a cup with the starbucks logo on it- its probably just my tea.
It was a beautiful day, so we requested a table out on the patio.
I took a few pictures out there, just to capture how peaceful and lovely it was.
Our food came slowly but surely.
Not too large of a menu, which was a relief to me.
It's such a pet peeve of mine when restaurants have HUGE menus, because i'm such an indecisive person.
The decoration and theme of the restaurant was modern yet cute, and everything was very well put together, and I found it charming, especially since it was by a little harbor. (which surprisingly didn't reek of fish.)
Here are some more photos I took of the decor, settings, and drinks, which I just found too adorable NOT to photograph.
Then our food finally arrived! :)
-and matching the theme of the restaurant, the food was adorable as well.
They gave us these little pastries for free as starters... sweet yet not overbearing.
I ordered lamb-chops as my main entree. (I was told it was a small dish, because I really wasn't that hungry. It was still pretty early on in the day.)
Two of the lamb chops were horrendously undercooked, but they were very courteous about cooking them back up for me. The flavor of the meat was quite delicious, and the light salad that came with it was a nice touch.
It came with a lovely barbaque-type sauce, but it had more a wine-ish taste to it. I preferred pairing it with the salad.
My mum ordered some sweet potato fries, and they brought them out to us to share.
My mother ordered a rhode-island lettuce salad as her entree, which to our surprise was basically a stack of rhode-island originated lettuce and some nuts, dried fruit, and cheese sprinkled all over it.
It was actually quite delicious, but a hassle to eat because the pieces were so horrifically large. I felt a bit like a cow trying to fit one leaf of lettuce into my mouth.
Although I believe your intended to cut it with a knife, it didm't seem plausible to me to have to cut a salad like a steak in order to eat it.
It was just us two, but we had a hell-of-alot of food.
Surprisingly, I managed to finish my bit, and my mum finished hers.
The only thing left were the sweet potato "fries", which my mum didn't enjoy too much. But we took them with us in a doggy-bag just in case we got nippy at the airport before our flight later that day.
Asked for a bit of ketchup for the fries, and our table was complete!
The restaurant's ambience was casual and comfy. I felt pretty happy just sitting there and taking in the fresh air and looking out at the harbor. The decor of the place was adorable yet simplistic.
Although the colors used were dark, the restaurant itself was bubbly and bright.
I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who's looking for a smaller meal, and wishes to take in the beautiful view right outside their door.
The only things I DIDN'T like were little things, such as the undercooked lamb chops, the inconvenient design of the salad, the long wait with no seating, and how close we were to the table behind us. (I had trouble getting out.)
But overall, I had a good time. It was nice to have conversation with my mom and just feel at peace next to the harbor. The boats never made any noise, and the smell barely even reached us even at how close we were. The waiters and waitresses were very polite, even giving me a little compliment on my outfit. I felt very comfortable, and that was important for me.
This was quite a while ago, but its taken a while to get around to blogging.
I'm sorry i've been so gone lately, its because schools been keeping me busy, and I have my priorities sorted out this year, so I don't put myself under too much pressure by procrastinating. I'm done making excuses.
I hope you guys will continue to support me. ❤
Talk to you guys soon!
❤
Wow looks nice~!!! ^^
