Plenty of free parking.
The elegant dining area. In fact, the whole place oozes elegance.
The ginormous bar area with nice window tables.
Impeccable table setting. You get warm bread with stone-cold butter. The bread to the left was rosemary Foccacia sans rosemary. The one to the right was a very pleasant pretzel-like bread.
The Maryland She-crab soup (6.75) was not part of the Dine Out Boston, but I ordered it anyway since it's a soup that I really like. This version was excellent, tasty and really well seasoned.
I started with the Caesar salad from the Dine Out Boston lunch menu (20). The romaine was fresh, and the unseasoned croutons were tender. The dressing was creamy, but that was it. It was very bland.
Black and Blue Burger. "Blackened 8oz burger with blue cheese, smoked bacon & hand cut french fries". Isn't all bacon smoked? It was ordered rare+ and hold the tomatoes. It didn't work too well since it was cooked medium-well and they held the onions, so back it went. The second attempt was medium, and now I'm giving up on getting it right. It was a loosely packed patty that was still juicy. If it was blackened, it was without any spices. The blue cheese was mild, and of course, the burger was unseasoned. The fries saved the day. Hand-cut fries cooked perfectly, and they were even salted. The service was OK, no water refill was offered. They did comp the soup due to the overcooked burger, and I appreciate that.
