| - After checking out the Tremont Art Walk, the gf and I decided to try our luck with OpenTable and see if we could insinuate ourselves into a fancy dinner. I'm glad we did, because we were able to make a reservation 10 minutes before we were seated, and watched lots of people get turned away during our short wait.
Once we got to our table we both had a lot of trouble deciding what to order because most of it looked pretty good. Our friendly server was helpful with input that let us narrow down our choices, and having ordered, we were looking forward to our meal.
We continued to look forward to it for the next 45 minutes.
Our server did apologize, explaining that the kitchen was really backed up. Seeing how busy it was, and taking into account that it was an Art Walk night, we were ok with this. In the meantime we received a couple of extra plates of the delicious bread and we both fell in love with the herbed honey butter.
Eventually our pizzas arrived, hot out of the oven. Gf loved her Mediterranean, and I am now a believer that the Lobster Pizza deserves all of the accolades it's received. Here's the thing, we ordered the potato nachos as an appetizer, and our entrees beat them to the table. After the three plates of bread and the long wait, we ended up canceling them, though we were a little disappointed because they sounded delicious.
We will very likely go back, as we did enjoy the food and would like to explore then menu, but for now, my rating is lower than it might have been because of the wait. I am confident that if we went under different circumstances this would be a 4 or 5 star experience, and in all fairness we did get in by the skin of our teeth on a super busy night so we'll see how it goes next time.
