Restaurants of Note

Last night I went with Liz to the Columbia Room for their much anticipated cocktail tasting menu. It was superb (though pricey). We enjoyed a champagne-esque vintage punch, then something with cherry and rye whiskey, and I finished it up with a gin fizz which apparently had egg white. Very good, all three. We had a little nut/craisin type tasting plate, which was great, but it would have been nice to have a more substantial bite since that was obviously dinner. But best of all was good girly talk conversation, over carefully crafted, meticulous cocktails at a quiet bar.

And then last week, Jenny and I met at Lincoln. We enjoyed several glasses of wine. I really enjoyed their seasonal menu of artisanal breads with a butternut squash, ricotta, and hazelnut spread; roasted heirloom eggplant with goat cheese and honey; and heirloom tomato risotto.  We also split a watermelon salad with feta. I'd definitely go back, though it was SO loud inside. We did eat outside.  It was just reviewed by Tom so the timing was great.
