Ironhorse-Haven't been in over 5 yrs, going back soon! Had a great lunch with Mim. Creamed cauliflower soup was oh so smooth and delish. We both got Annabelle's Chicken Quesadilla- "pulled bbq chicken, blended cheeses and green chilis, served with blackened tomato salsa and sour cream" and slaw on the side. It was huge but I finished it! Great flavors all around. A-, a ton of points
Boston Pho-Son and I are huge Pho fans, frequent all the local spots. This is in the former home of Dalat, which was our fav, even has the same menu which was kind of a bummer. We like the menu but with new owners it would be exciting to see new menus/dishes. We both had crispy spring rolls, he loved, I thought it was fine, not a ton of flavor. He got Pho, noted the meat wasn't as good, fattier. I tasted broth, was hoping for more.
I got the broken jasmine rice with grilled shrimp. They now serve it on a plate, used to be in bowl which was more enjoyable. The flavors blend better when you pour the fish sauce over the shrimp, rice, scallions, carrots. cukes in the bowl. Also, the shrimp used to have more flavor, dang it, gotta find a new hang out. B-, 14 points
Slice of Grace Bakery, Brook Rd-Of course I had to hit the latest cupcake spot. Tried the choc cake, choc icing, nice and moist but smaller and lighter than the other local spots I've tried. Pretty good but if I'm traveling that far I'll stick with the best I've found, Pearl's. B, 7 points
