Update on Mulvaney’s: Went last night and even though we had to sit out on the heated patio because of a private party in main room, the food was fantastic. I had the orichette (ears in the shape of pasta) with sausage and broccoli rabe and Mom went for the duck, which was cooked perfectly. And one more note, they corrected their dessert offerings and now have a Ding Dong listed on the menu and not a Ho Ho. I’m becoming a bigger fan every trip.

We enjoyed some nice appetizers & wine there on Tuesday, including home-made potato chips topped with salmon, accompanied by (my) local favorite Boeger. There’s also a great patio on the side of the building, which we used for a meeting — perfect with heat lamps and tenting during the cooler months.

This is probably my favorite place right now. Excellent good, great looking space, not pretentious, great service. Much more laid back and easy going place than say Mason’s.

I always like places where I can watch the kitchen in action from up close.

The Bledsoe pork loin I had there a hand full of months ago was the best I have ever had. Perfect balance of sweet, spicy and smoky..all wrapped in bacon. Yum. Another time I had a rib eye (i know, boring) with heirloom tomatoes that got me hooked on wanting tomatoes with every steak I have.

I thought I heard Ginger Powers, who does great chocolates, was the new pasty chef, but not positive.

The Slow Food group ate there … last year? … and he prepared the most amazing feast. I’m so happy to know he has opened the restaurant he hoped to, and can’t wait to try it out! Yes, I love that building, too.
