It was a good event, but a lot of the vendors ran out of food way too early. Ricardo’s ran out like 15 minutes into the thing. They need to come better prepared next year.
Hi GG,
Just want to thank you for a great blog. I live in NY on Long Island but travel ~ monthly to Chelmsford for a week or so at a time for work.
My colleague and I learned about Restaurant Week from your blog and had a wonderful 4-course meal at Moonstones earlier this week. We sat at the bar, where Peggy took perfect care of us. The food was excellent - my braised short ribs appetizer was delectable, the mediterranean chicken soup was perfectly spiced for my palate, the salmon tandoori was a tad dry, but the accompanying veggies were perfect. My pal had the twin filets as an entree - they were the sole disappointment of the evening as they were much flatter than most filets and a bit overcooked for medium rare. I couldn't stop eating her parmesan truffle fries - they were that amazingly good - and I am not a fry person at all.
Amazingly we both polished off desert - well, I left a tiny bite of the Chocolate Pate while my colleague was very happy with the Brazilian Coconut Pudding.
I will definitely be back to sample more of the small plates, so I guess the Restaurant Week promotion worked in my case.
note - I'll be cross-posting some form of this mini-review on Chowhound - hope that's okay...
