| - I finally had lunch today at the University Club, vowing to come back after having a scrumptious dinner at a big event earlier this year. (If you have a big event coming up such as a conference or an annual meeting, you'd be wise to check this place out.) Anyway, my lunch started out very nicely with a friendly waitress and a basket of bread w/butter (Graft, take note!!) I ordered the crab cake sandwich w/sweet potato fries and while it was getting crowded (when I left, every table was full) my food arrived in just the right time, hot and very appealing. Tasty, too! Many of the other diners were having the signature club sandwich which looked really good as well. The check arrived with an after dinner mint, nice touch.
The near perfect lunch lost a star however, on two points: the bread in the basket, had a slightly anomalous taste to it, like it had been sitting in the back of the freezer for a couple years. And my waitress, sweet as she was, did not check to make sure everything was OK at the table. (I could've used some more water...)
If you're ever down at the end of State Street and don't want to jostle in line at the food carts, give the U Club a try -- I think you'll be glad you did!
