Country Mile | Watertown

 

Country Mile is OUTSTANDING. It is brand new from a husband and wife (chef + front of the house) duo from Vermont. I guarantee you will see it on all the Best of Boston lists in 2019. I was not into mocktails throughout my pregnancy but the bartender here does them justice; they are exceptionally crafted and were the price of an actual soda. (Although perhaps this was a birthday deal?!) The group can vouch for the cocktails being fantastic, too. 

I have included a photo of the menu since four of us shared about half of it. You will literally want every vegetable dish in that first section. I'm still swooning + Happy 35th Birthday to me!

Metropolis Café | South End

Metropolis is a cozy bistro nestled in the heart of the South End. It has been a neighborhood mainstay for over 20 years. The vibe is casual and relaxed while the dimly lit space with comfy booths and window nooks sets the scene for a romantic occasion! 

Creative Mediterranean comfort food shines at Metropolis. We were really pleased with our meals. 

Rainbow Trout - stuffed with confit fennel, wilted spinach, preserved lemon + salsa verde

Beetroot + Pear Salad - roasted red beets, Bartlett pear, shaved fennel, Roquefort cheese, toasted hazelnuts, sherry vinaigrette

Veal Scallopini - free range cutlets sauteed with capers, brown butter + cauliflower leek gratin 

Lemon Mousse Tart - raspberries + shaved coconut

Coffee Crème Brulee - with flourless oatmeal chocolate chip cookie

On this evening we were celebrating Valentine's Day! And a super pregnant one at that. We are sooo excited to meet this baby!!
