1754 House, Woodbury CT.

Sweet Potato Crusted Cod- baby potatoes, upper grassy greens and lemon butter sauce.

1754 House is a beautiful Inn, Restaurant and Tavern. It is a historical inn and resort that hosts many events, including weddings and dinners. I loved the rustic charm of the dining room and the fire place made the room feel cozy. All of the wait staff, from the bartender to our waiter to other waiters were so nice and friendly! We had my baby niece with us so obviously every stops to look at the baby and see how cute she is 💕

We did order a few appetizers including, Fired Roasted Shishito Peppers, Roasted Brussel Sprouts and my favorite of the night Cauliflower Gratin! All the appetizers were incredible. So delicious and they were enough for 6 people to share.

For dinner I ordered the Sweet Potato Cod and wow that cod was cooked to perfection! The cod had a delicious lemon flavor and it just melted in your mouth. The potatoes with the cod gave it some nice flavor and texture. I loved the greens on the cod as well for some extra crunch. The lemon butter sauce was perfect because it did not over take the taste of the cod, but elevated the flavors.

Based on the presentation and taste of the Sweet Potato Crusted Cod I would rate this dish a 9 out of 10.

Brick Pizza Co. Bristol, RI.

Shrimp Scampi Linguine- Pan seared shrimp, garlic, Aleppo chile, olive oil, shallots, pecorino Romano, baby spinach and linguine.

Bristol RI has some amazing restaurants and I always find it hard to pick a place to eat when I go there. A week ago I went to @brickpizzaco for a Thanksgiving centerpiece event and of course I had to get dinner before hand!

Brick is known for their pizza, which is delicious. I enjoy their pasta dishes as well. The Shrimp scampi is really good at Brick. They give you six pieces of big shrimp, which I think is a good amount for a restaurant. I really enjoyed the baby spinach in the dish as well. I love spinach so when it is added to added to any dish I appreciate it. This whole dish was delicious, and I really enjoyed the garlic sauce on the pasta and shrimp. I wish there was a little lemon in the dish, but that can always be added.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone in the Bristol area. I would also recommend on attending an event at Brick because they host fun events and night outs!

Based on presentation and taste of the @brickpizzaco Shrimp scampi I would rate this dish a 8 out of 10.

All In Poke, Worcester Public Market, Worcester MA.

Spicy Tuna Poke- Spicy Tuna, Rice, pineapple, avocado, picked jalapeño, cucumber, seaweed salad, spicy honey soy, spicy Mayo and sesame seeds.

The Worcester Public Market is a multi-vendor, food-oriented marketplace. The Wachusett Brew Yard is at the market too. This market place is a great place with so much amazing food and crafts and vendors! I ate there two days in a row and I loved every minute of it! I can’t wait to go back and try more!

One of my favorite food vendors was @allinpokewoo 💕

My poke bowl was delicious and had so much food and flavors! I love poke bowls, I even try to make them myself, but I think this was my favorite poke bowl! I also got to talk to the owner and he had an incredible story and it make me really appreciate all of his hard work at making his food delicious! The spicy tuna was nice and fresh and the pineapple with it reminded me of summer!

The seaweed salad was some of the best seaweed salad I have ever had. I ended up eating that separate and didn’t eat it with the other veggies and tuna in the bowl.

If you are in the Worcester Area I would recommend eating at @woopublicmarket 😉

Based on presentation and taste of the @allinpokewoo Spicy Tuna bowl I would rate this a 10 out of 10.

Kimball Farm, Jaffrey NH.

Kimball Farm has locations in MA and NH. The one in Westford MA has food, ice cream, mini golf, bumper boats, bumper cars, batting cages, zip lining and a lot more. Every location is different. I went to the one in Jaffrey NH with my cousins! The one in Jaffrey has delicious food, wonderful homemade ice cream and a country store!

They offer two size lobster rolls. The regular and the junior. I got the regular lobster roll. I was complete surprised at how good the roll was. The lobster meat was fresh, they gave you a good amount of lobster and there was not much mayo on it. The bun was toasted perfectly for that nice crunch! I love how it came with fries and the watermelon! I thought it was a bit pricey for a lobster roll at a Farm stand, it was $32.95. But, I understand the price of lobster and food is increasing and it was a delicious roll. I didn’t feel disappointed on paying for something as delicious as that. My cousins got the fried seafood platter and that was delicious too. The seafood was fried but you could still taste the delicious fish.

To end the day we had homemade pumpkin ice cream, which was a die for! If you don’t like seafood but are in the area of a Kimball Farm I recommend stopping for food, ice cream or just fun activities!

Based on presentation and taste of the lobster roll I would rate this roll a 7 out of 10.

Mesa 21, Fall River MA.

New Bedford Seared Scallops- Maple glazed scallops with mushroom and asparagus risotto with bacon.

Fall River is known for their Portuguese restaurants. They have a big Portuguese population, and with that comes delicious food! I have been wanting to try Mesa 21 for a while now and I was so happy with my meal.

The scallops were perfectly seared. The risotto was my favorite part of the meal! There are so many delicious flavors in this dish. The mushroom and asparagus with the bacon, you can taste all the flavors. I would recommend this dish to anyone who likes scallops. The other food there looked really good too. I would go back to try more dishes!

Based on presentation and taste of the @mesatwentyone seared scallops I would rate this dish a 8 out of 10.

Mainely Seafood and Deli, Putnam CT.

Are you a fan of Hot or Cold Lobster rolls? Well, at Mainely Seafood you can get both!

I got the Hot Lobster Roll because that is my favorite 🦞

The lobster was very fresh. I don’t think they gave you enough lobster in the roll, it was small. But, the bun was toasted perfectly, with a great crunch. It was buttered perfect, the butter with the lobster meat is so delicious. I wish it had a little lemon with it, for a hint of citrus. Overall it was a good roll, but I would try the cold lobster roll next just for comparison 🦞

Based on presentation and taste of the Mainely Seafood and Deli lobster roll I would rate this roll a 7 out of 10.

Black Dog Bar & Grill Putnam, CT.

The classic Fish and Chips! I love fish and Chips and sometimes you just have to go with what you know and love!

The fish and chips at @blackdogbargrille is made with fresh North Atlantic Haddock and is slightly battered. I really like how you can taste the Haddock through the batter and the fish just melts in your mouth. The batter is not too heavy.

The perfect bite for fish and chips is some fish with a fry or two with tartar sauce!!

Based on presentation and taste of the @blackdogbargrille fish and chips I would rate this dish a 9 out of 10.

Blount Clam Shack and Market, Warren RI.

Whole Belly Clam Roll on a grilled bun with clam fritters and clam chowder.

Shrimp Wrap- fried shrimp with lettuce, fresh salsa, Kick ‘N’Bayou sauce & Cheddar cheese

Another Sunday, Another Clam Shack! ☀️

I love whole belly clams! Maybe it’s the New Englander in me (born and raised in MA) but they are better than clam strips! Don’t knock ‘em til you try ‘em 😉

I love @blountretail 😉 They have delicious, fresh seafood, amazing soups and fresh and frozen foods. It is my favorite Clam Shack on the East Bay 💕

@blountfoodtruck @blountfinefoods

The fried shrimp wrap was delicious. The fried shrimp was fried lightly and you could still taste the shrimp. The sauce was a nice kick too but it wasn’t too spicy, just a nice kick. The wrap was crispy and had a great crunch with the freshness of the salsa. I usually get the lobster roll here, but I really wanted those whole belly clams 🦞

The whole belly clam roll was delicious! Very nicely fried, it was light and you could still taste those clams. I added a little Tatar sauce to the roll and a little lemon for freshness. The clam fritters are delicious with chunks of clams in the fritter. And when you dunk the fritters in the clam chowder that clam taste really pops out!! I really enjoyed this roll and it was a perfect way to end a Summer Weekend ☀️

Based on presentation and taste of the @blountretail whole belly clam roll, fritters and chowder and shrimp wrap I would rate this Clam Shack a 10 out of 10.

Iggy's Doughboys & Chowder House, Narragansett RI.

Like the Chowder Bowl says “it’s always summer at Iggy’s.” This clam stand will always be nostalgic to me and have a special place in my memories and heart!

I love getting the lobster roll dinner at @iggys_ri because it comes with your choice of cold or hot lobster roll. Chowder or Salad and French fries with coleslaw. I always get a side order of Clam Fritters and of course the famous Doughboys! I love getting the fritters bc I can dip them in my chowder!

I did order the cold lobster roll the other day, it was a hot day and I wanted something refreshing. The lobster rolls at Iggy’s are delicious. They have so much meat in eat roll. The #lobstertomayoratio is great, not too much mayo and you can taste the fresh lobster. The roll was stuffed to the brim with meat and the bun was toasted so well that it was crispy and help the meat well. I don’t like when the bun has a soggy bottom (The Greatest British Baking Show reference there!)

The New England Clam Chowder was delicious. They do have a good amount of clams and potatoes in the chowdah. The clam fritters are delicious too, they have lot of clams baked into the fritter. The cinnamon and sugar doughboys are the best way to end a delicious meal. I definitely recommend more than one 😉 the dough is nice and warm too, so it just melts in your mouth!!

Based on presentation and taste of the lobster roll at @iggys_ri I would rate this cold lobster roll a 8.5 out of 10.

Spain of Narragansett, Narragansett RI.

Linguine with vodka sauce, lobster tail, shrimp and scallops.

I have been going to Narragansett every summer since I was a teenager. My family would get a beach house there and we would go to the town beach, go shopping, go out to dinner and have a wonderful week there! The one place I never went to dinner was Spain. My parents went, other people in our family went but I never did and I don’t know why.

I am happy to say I finally made it to @spainofnarragansett and the food and service did not disappoint!

For appetizers we ordered the Grilled Chorizo and Xula salad.

For dinner I ordered the night special of linguine with lobster, scallops and shrimp. My boyfriend ordered the steak special, which was a 20 oz a Omaha steak. The portions were incredible and we had left overs.

My linguine dish was delicious. I really liked the seafood with the vodka sauce, you don’t always see that together. Most places have seafood with a garlic and lemon sauce, but I liked the vodka sauce. I did like the amount of shrimp and scallops in my dish, I felt like for the price of $36 dollars I did get a lot of seafood. The lobster was already cracked for me, in the picture you can’t tell, but when I flipped it over the tail was able to be pulled out with a fork. The only negative thing I would say about my dish is that the lobster did have lobster poop in it. I wish that part of the lobster was cleaned out before serving it. The lobster meat itself was very flavorful.

We ended the night with two desserts, which were delicious! I would go back to Spain and I would recommend it to anyone who is down in Narragansett or Cranston who is looking for a delicious, and well priced meal.

Based on presentation and taste of the @spainofnarragansett Linguine and seafood I would rate this dish a 8.5 out of 10.

Barrels & Boards, Raynham MA.

Salad: Seafood Caprese Tower-

Pan-seared New Bedford scallops & shrimp, fresh basil, sliced tomato & buffalo mozzarella, aged balsamic glaze

Dinner: Cast Iron Portuguese Baked Haddock with diced potatoes, portuguese mozambique sauce, linguica, onions, peppers, kale & topped with sherry herb crumbs

Dessert: Creme Brûlée Cheese Cake

Barrels & Boards calls itself an Upscale Prohibition Dining experience. They offer handcrafted cocktails, local craft beers and most importantly their whisky selection.

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a few months and I already want to go back and try more delicious meals.

I have never seen the Seafood Caprese Tower on a menu before so I had to try that. The seafood was fresh and the shrimp was warm, which was a nice contrast to the cold tomatoes and mozz cheese.

My main dish, the Portuguese Baked Haddock was to die for! One of the best haddock dish I have had. The heat from the linguica and mozambique sauce with the freshness of the haddock really had all the flavors come together nicely. I loved the potatoes with it because they helped soak up that delicious sauce. The haddock itself was melt in your mouth delicious and the breadcrumbs gave it a nice crunch.

The Creme Brûlée cheesecake was delicious, and they Bruleed the top which really added to the flavor, crunch!

This restaurant also has a market where you can get fresh baked good, fresh seafood and meat, prepared meals, pizza, etc. We did get a few take home items from their market and we enjoyed another meal. I would recommend checking out the market when you go.

Based on presentation and taste of the @barrelsnboardsma Cast Iron Portuguese Baked Haddock I would rate this dish a 10 out of 10.

Stoneforge Tavern, Raynham MA.

Pistachio Encrusted Swordfish- pistachio butter encrusted swordfish with lemon arugula risotto.

Stoneforge Tavern has multiple locations but we went to the one in Raynham. I really liked the atmosphere there because they have a bar tavern area as well as a separate dining room.

My meal started off with lobster bisque. The lobster bisque was ok, not the best I have tasted but it did have a few pieces of lobster in it. I wouldn’t get the lobster bisque again but I would try the Clam Chowder.

The Pistachio Encrusted Swordfish was very good. I really liked the pieces of pistachio in the butter sauce. It gave the dish a nice little crunch. The swordfish was cooked well. I wish it was a little more flakey but the taste was good. The swordfish mixed with the risotto had a nice fresh flavor as well. I was with a group of people and they all were happy with their meals. This Tavern has enough on their menu that you could go back a few times and try a few different dishes. Overall I would go back to this restaurant!

Based on presentation and taste I would give the @stoneforge_raynham swordfish dish a 7 out of 10.

The Courthouse Bar and Grille, Putnam CT.

I have reviewed @courthouse_b_g before and I gave it a good review.

I tried their lobster roll yesterday and it surprised me because it was delicious. I was expecting there to be a lot of mayo, but there wasn’t the #lobstertomayoratio was just right.

The lobster roll was made of Lobster meat lightly mixed with mayo, celery, and dill in a toasted roll atop a bed of lettuce. The dill on the lobster roll added a wonderful flavor to the roll. The dill made the roll extra fresh and the lobster was fresh lobster. The toasted roll was very crispy too which gave it a great crunch. There was a lot of meat on the roll too. Once again it was another delicious meal at The Courthouse! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is going into Putnam.

Based on presentation and taste of the @courthouse_b_g Lobster roll I would rate this roll a 8 out of 10.

1799 Prime Steak and Seafood, Alexandria VA.

CRAB CAKES- apple and mango slaw, roasted poblano tartar, asparagus.

This restaurant is rich in history. The Quander Family is one of the oldest documented African American families that have come African ancestry to present day America. I would suggest reading the history of this family because it is interesting! The restaurant itself is beautiful. I loved the cozy bar area with a fireplace and the dining room with exposed brick. The outdoor sitting area will be really nice in the warm weather!

I really enjoyed the cocktails and food at @1799prime_alexandria

We ordered a few appetizers, the fried green tomatoes, braised pork belly and garlic tomato confit. I also got a French onion soup. The food was delicious and the fried green tomatoes were some of the best I have had!

For dinner I got the Crab Cakes that were delicious. The crab cakes were cooked perfectly, with a nice crisp to the outside of the cake. There was a lot of crab in the cake too. I loved the apple and mango slaw with it because it makes the dish fresh and a little sweet. The textures worked well together!

The red velvet cheesecake for dessert was one of the best cheesecakes I have had. I love how there was a sponge cake in the middle. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is looking for a delicious meal in a really nice atmosphere!

Based on presentation and taste of the @1799prime_alexandria Crab Cakes I would rate this dish a 10 out of 10.
