| - Last night, "The Girl" aka Erin O. and I met some friends at Press for some last minute holiday morsels. I say last minute because Press was the only place willing to squeeze our party of seven in on 24 hours notice.
I love Tremont; each place has its own flavor, and I love this new addition. The vibe begins as you enter the breezeway, with cork and wine crate walls immediately bringing the purpose of this place into focus. We were seated next to the floor-to-ceiling wine room, which was absolutely beautiful. Our $24 bottle of Malbec, yes $24, was perfectly chilled as if it came from a private wine cellar. Our group shared the meat and cheese tray, mussels, fried rissoto, and the incredible breakfast flat bread, which wasn't a maple-fest, but rather highlighted with a butternut squash "sauce" that simply melted in your mouth.
Service was very good for a young (open 4 weeks) establishment. The timing of our drinks and food was spot on, and everything came out fresh and hot. My only complaint comes from the servers lack of knowledge regarding the Pinot Grigio selections, but I'm sure that will improve with time.
Welcome to Tremont. Once again, the area has been blessed with another great place to explore. The Girl and I will certainly be returning to try more of the menu.
