Enjoying Kenmore Sq. while the Red Sox are Away - Eastern Standard

After a full day at the spa with Margaret (massage, Turkish scrub, facial, mani, pedi and make-up) we met the 'husbands' at Eastern Standard.

For those of that are old enough and remember the dump rat-hole (bastion of punk rock) Rathskeller..... this place is in the old site. Nothing like it - it is attached to the Hotel Commonwealth. Really nice - decor. Feel like I am in NOLA.

Great cocktails to start with. I got something called a strawberry cobbler - oh my! with infused vodka and mint - just delicious. They also offered a 'cocktail flight'. They bar staff is very accommodating. On to the food....
We started with some great apps - soft shell crab corn dog style, oysters, salad nicoise- all wonderful. I got the sage roasted chicken and Rolfe got au poivre pork tenderloin. Carmen got a sinfully rich pasta dish and Margaret got the seared Bass. This is a great place to hang out and and have creative and inspired food and cocktails. There is a lot of patio seating as well. Too bad it is a mob scene on baseball nights. Oh well. Good thing the Red Sox travel a lot.
