We were looking for something to do that was 1: new for us, 2: lots of fun and 3: relaxing at the same time. That’s not a very easy list of things to satisfy at the same time. It would also help if it was not too far from home and didn’t cost an arm Continue reading A Great Jazz Weekend in Old Lyme, CT http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-bravo-brasserie-in-providence-ri/ 
Bravo sees us come through their doors fairly regularly. A large part of that is due to the restaurant being directly across the street from the Trinity Repertory Company’s theater, where we are season subscribers. It’s sort of a tradition that we get to Providence a bit early and stop in at Bravo for a Continue reading Dining Review: Bravo Brasserie in Providence, RI http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-aquitaine-in-dedham-ma/ 
As you probably guessed from the name, Aquitaine is a French bistro, located in the Legacy Place shopping center off of Route 1A in Dedham, MA. We tend to like French bistros, and are happy to report that this is no exception. When you walk in a large bar extends on the left toward the Continue reading Dining Review – Aquitaine in Dedham, MA http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-gracies-in-providence-ri/ 
We have enjoyed going to Gracie’s periodically for many years. It has always delivered a quality dining experience, with excellent food and a good ambiance. They also allow you to bring your own wine, albeit with a $25 corkage fee. We had a couple of nice French reds in our wine bag this past weekend Continue reading Dining Review – Gracie’s in Providence, RI http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-jamestown-fish-in-jamestown-ri/ 
Two years is about how long Cheri and I have talked about going to Jamestown FiSH to see what the fuss is about. We’ve had bites of chef Matthew MacCartney’s food at various wine events, seen the restaurant’s name in various places, and certainly noticed the consecutive Food & Wine “People’s Best New Chef” New Continue reading Dining Review: Jamestown FiSH in Jamestown, RI http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-bouchard-in-newport-ri/ 
If you look at any dining guide for Newport, RI, you are always going to see one restaurant near the top. That restaurant is Bouchard, on Lower Thames Street. This stalwart of French cuisine is generally crowded, requires reservations, and gets lots of 5 star ratings. We were recently out with friends during Newport Restaurant Continue reading Dining Review: Bouchard in Newport RI http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-rosalina-in-providence-ri/ 
We’re in Providence semi-regularly, and find our way to Trinity Rep for a play six times a year. There are a lot of restaurants to choose from in the city, and that’s a good thing. There’s actually quite a few a stone’s throw from the Trinity Repertory Theater as well, so choices do abound. One Continue reading Dining Review of Rosalina in Providence, RI http://www.redwineplease.com/visit-to-revival-brewery-and-brutopia-brew-pub/ 
UPDATE – JULY 2016 Since the positive review was published below we went back to Brutopia for lunch in June, 2016. This experience could not have been worse. There were not many people there, but the kitchen, for some reason, was horribly backed up. We had a drink at the bar and a couple of Continue reading Visit to Revival Brewery and Brutopia Brew Pub http://www.redwineplease.com/repost-dining-review-of-metacom-kitchen-in-warren-rhode-island/ 
Last weekend we managed to get three busy couple’s schedules to coincide for a few hours and we got together with some friends at Metacom Kitchen in Warren, RI. The restaurant has only been open here for about seven months, after converting the building from what had been a pub into a fine dining establishment. Continue reading Repost – Dining Review of Metacom Kitchen in Warren, Rhode Island http://www.redwineplease.com/quick-review-of-savor-ct-a-great-wine-and-food-event/ 
Robert Irvine If you like wine and food events you can tell when one is done right. We always rave about the Newport Mansions event in September. Mark Gasbarro does a beautiful event for one night as well in the Providence area. Now everyone has to move over and make room for a Continue reading Quick Review of Savor CT: A Great Wine and Food Event |
