Our Snowbound Inn We wanted to go to the Boston Wine Expo this year, but it always seems something is working against us. Last year it was a bout with the flu, this year a forecast for yet another Northeast blizzard. What to do? With reservations in place to be in Chatham on Continue reading Almost Went to the Boston Wine Expo, but Spent the Blizzard on Cape Cod Instead http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-hive-restaurant-at-the-renaissance-westchester-hotel/ 
Recently we found ourselves in White Plains, New York for a few nights. Unfortunately it was for a sad occasion, and during times like these it’s nice to have a place to relax and unwind during the evening. Fortunately we happened to stay at the Renaissance Westchester Hotel, and right there in the lobby is Continue reading Dining Review – Hive Restaurant at the Renaissance Westchester Hotel http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-the-mooring-in-newport-ri-and-an-unexpected-bottle-of-2000-ornellaia/ 
We are in Newport several times a year, and generally we end up at The Mooring if we are looking for something to eat in a classy but casual setting without costing a small fortune. This restaurant has just about everything you could want, with outdoor seating right on the water in nicer weather, a Continue reading Dining Review of The Mooring in Newport , RI – and an Unexpected Bottle of 2000 Ornellaia http://www.redwineplease.com/barcelona-restaurant-a-little-spain-in-stamford-ct/ 
We recently found ourselves in Stamford, CT on a Saturday night facing the decision of which restaurant to go to. We had just attended the Greenwich Wine and Food Festival, so we had several choices from that event, as well as a large number of local places covering every ethnic food group you could think Continue reading Barcelona Restaurant, A Little Spain in Stamford, CT. http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-the-old-lyme-inn-in-lyme-ct-near-the-florence-griswold-museum/ 
On the way to the recent Greenwich Wine and Food Festival we stopped in Lyme, CT to grab some dinner. A perusal of available choices and their menus led us to try the Old Lyme Inn. We had actually been inside this building years before, stopping to check it out on our way back from Continue reading Dining Review of the Old Lyme Inn in Old Lyme CT. – Near The Florence Griswold Museum http://www.redwineplease.com/lunch-at-the-morgan-house-inn-in-lee-ma/ 
In an old inn sitting right on the main street through Lee, Massachusetts is the tavern at Morgan House Inn. It’s small, with four or so tables in the front enclosed porch, as well as a few in the bar area. The bar only seats 8-10. There is a much larger area that they open Continue reading Lunch at the Morgan House Inn in Lee, MA http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-davios-at-patriot-place-foxborough-ma/ 
Having the whole family together for the first time in a while was cause to celebrate, and since we happened to be at Patriot Place for a New England Revolution soccer game the choices were somewhat limited. We opted for Davio’s for two reasons. First, Cheri and I had eaten there a few weeks ago Continue reading Dining Review of Davio’s at Patriot Place, Foxborough MA http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-thames-street-kitchen-newport-ri/ 
We met some friends this weekend in Newport at Thames Street Kitchen for dinner. Cheri and I have never been here before, and one of the other couples had not either. New restaurants can be fun, or not, but at least the company would be good so we would enjoy ourselves one way or another. Continue reading Dining Review of Thames Street Kitchen, Newport RI http://www.redwineplease.com/lunch-in-albany-ny-at-provence-restaurant/ 
With Alex firmly ensconced in his graduate program in Cooperstown, NY, we find ourselves passing through Albany, NY quite frequently, and usually around lunch time. This past trip we stopped at Provence, which is located in the Stuyvesant Plaza, right on Rt 20, or Western Avenue locally. As you might expect this is a French Continue reading Lunch in Albany, NY at Provence Restaurant http://www.redwineplease.com/dining-review-of-bonefish-grill-cranston-ri/ 
Update May 2014: while the review below is very good, our second trip to the BoneFish Grill was anything but. This time the food was not ready on time, as they had burned Cheri’s. They were firing another, and we asked them to bring the other two dishes and NOT leave them under the heat Continue reading Dining Review of Bonefish Grill – Cranston RI |
