And a Week Flies By...

Wow, did I not go out to eat during the work week? So unlike me. Ohh, we got takeout. Hah!

So Saturday after the annual Boston Ski & Snowboard Expo, Rosa, Wei, Jessica, Harry, Edmund, Tai, and I had dinner for Wei's, Harry's, and Edmund's birthdays at Salvatore's in the Seaport district.

The hostess was not friendly. At all. The interior is very clean and modern, but not memorable. I think the bar area was a bit of a throwback (as was the music), but I wasn't really paying much attention.

We shared two bottles of wine and a calamari to start:

I didn't try this, but Tai said it was decent. The boys kept fighting over the banana peppers, while Jessica kept accidentally biting into and spitting them out.

Harry actually drank this - he said it tasted like bubbly soda.

Tai and Wei had the citrus salmon - not bad. The salmon was a bit overcooked for my taste, but the green beans and potatoes were good.

Harry and Edmund had the short rib filet - I didn't try the meat but the sweet potato puree was so smooth and creamy.

Jessica's veal marsala

Rosa's bolognese

My clams fregola - such a perfect amount of food for sharing. I would have liked the sauce to have more of flavor and/or kick though.

The saddest tiramisu I've ever eaten - no really, don't do it. Ever. It was icy and had no flavor other than cinnamon.
