Date of dining experience: April 11, 2019
Place: U.S.S. Chowder Pot IV
Location: 165 Brainard Rd. in Hartford, CT
Salad: A very nice Caesar salad.
Entree: A perfectly prepared, and surprisingly large, piece of barramundi, served with delicious tomato basil rice. The flavors of everything went very well together, especially when a lemon slice was squeezed over the fish.
Beers: Hanging Hills New England IPA and Naughty Nurse Amber Ale, both of which were very delicious and just what I was looking for.
This was a great experience! I sat at the bar, which I love, especially for lunch, because it is a much more laid back experience. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant when I am back in the area in about a month. I just hope the barramundi is available again as it was a lunch special and not on the regular menu. I highly recommend this place. Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!

Terra - New York, NY
Date of dining experience: April 6, 2019
Place: Terra Winebar and Cicchetti
Location: 222 W. Broadway in New York, NY
Salad: Cesare ($14) - Caesar salad with Parmesan, anchovies, and garlic. An absolutely perfect salad. Good anchovies really make a great Caesar salad, and there is no such thing as a great Caesar salad with anchovies!
Paste Entree: Orecchiette Salsiccia Rapini ($16) - A delicious pasta with Italian sausage, garlic, and broccoli rabe. While this was very good, I would have liked it even more if it had some sort of sauce with it.
Wine: A very good Chianti.
Overall, the food was great. The atmosphere was good as we were out on the sidewalk patio, but the service was a little lacking. It seemed as though they were under-staffed for the evening and it took us forever to order after being told the specials. There were a lot of people who arrived at the same time, so I understand being a little slow. The food and atmosphere were so good, I will definitely eat here again. I just hope the service is a little better the next time. Try this place out for yourself and let me know what you think. Enjoy!
