Deal or No Deal: Wine Dine With Us at Tico

17 August 2011

Glenn: I have been spending too much time across the river in Cambridge and Somerville. I’d lost touch with the realities of dining in the Back Bay. My evening at Tico, though, got me up to speed. The food – what there was of it – was fine – great, fresh, lively flavors. However, we had [...]

The Dinearound – Oleana

4 August 2011

 We all began with a glass of wine. [...]

The Fenway: One Bite at a Time

9 July 2011

When I moved to West Fenway several years ago, there were few interesting restaurant and bar options. Sorento’s, Brown Sugar, Linwood Grill, and a strip of decent, but unremarkable take-out joints, served as good standbys for when I didn’t want to head to the South End or Back Bay.
Fast-forward to 2011 and the Fenway has [...]

He Said, She Said – In search of Cuisine: Restaurant Week at T.W. Food

17 March 2011

GLENN – Eleni and Katrin have grown weary of comfort foods - both the traditional down-home variety and the gussied-up contemporary version. Not to sound elitist, it was time for some cuisine. Eleni had expressed an interest in TW Food, and Katrin and I concurred. Even though it was Restaurant Week, we were off to sample TW’s personal [...]
