Spotlight: Banyan Bar and Refuge

To celebrate our anniversary and birthday, we tried out a new restaurant. Yep, just around the corner is a new one, taking over the classic  Hammersley's of Boston. This was advertised as Asian small plates. Walking in, it was like old home week. We knew practically everyone. Ok thats a bold face lie, but were greeted by many friends. The owner our neighbor just down the street, and patrons of the south end were all around. We had earlier chosen the chef's table, just next to the kitchen.

Without going into detail you will never read, it was perhaps the best eating experience I've ever had, and that is statistically significant. The picture above is a Kirin beer slushy, the top is frozen beer, made in a machine, of which there are only three others in the US. The cocktails and food were things you would never make yourself, and outstanding.

Most memorable, are the wontons, and grilled avocado. I promise a picture with our next visit.

Whale of a good time

Touristy whale watch turned into a whale exhibit. I think they were all trying to show off.
