Holiday Gala

Sunday, December 6, 2009

This dinner was another sellout!

Boston superstar Chef Lydia Shire and partner Paul Licari treated us to one of the finest dinners in recent memory.

From the house cured smoked salmon at the raw bar (below) to the cracked crab and tangerine souffle to the 2006 Gevery Chambertin served with the cheese course to the incredible “Favorite Pavola” of dessert, each dish was more delightful than the last.
This venerable Boston institution is a bright shining star and one well worth visiting again and again.

 There were a few postprandial cigar smokers as well.
