We rolled in last night and were impressed. \n\nWe each ordered an appetizer: the bf got curry mussels and I had the ricotta gnudi (the latter of which comes in an entree size) and both were delicious. The curry had almost no heat but had potent flavour; the gnudi was rich and cheesy with some memorably delicious mushrooms. \n\nEntrees: Bf got pickerel on cheesy grits and I got the lamb shank. I was especially impressed with the pickerel. Fish has the tendency to not ever feel like an overly hearty or decadent choice, but the bed of super cheesy grits complemented the fish and elevated its richness. My lamb shank was extremely soft and whatever cooking method was applied brought out all the nice flavour inherent to the meat. It came with perfectly cooked couscous and blanched green beans.\n\nEverything was top-notch and reasonably priced. The Westerly doesn't feel like it's trying to be overly adventurous, but it's still unique, high-quality dining. Ambience-wise, it's a great place for an intimate meal. I can't wait to try their brunch."^^ . "0"^^ . "2012-10-22T00:00:00"^^ . . .
