Just had an amazing flawless dinner at The Blue Heron. I am the coordinator of [Western Mass] EatUp!, a dining club that meets through meetup.com and we just had our 10th monthly dinner at the Blue Heron.
It was a bit of a pain to deal with them, they were kind of nit-picky, but I tell you, after we had our meal (they effortlessly served 30 people, several with food sensitivities) 5 courses and from soup to nuts, every bite was delicious.
Luckily, we arranged with them to offer us a prix fixe menu so all 5 courses, including tax and tip was only $41.00 per person.
The blue cheese/arugula/endive salad was amazing, a perfect blend of flavors and textures, the mediterranean appetizer plate was out of this world, like 5 different little tastes, everything from white bean hummus to marinated roasted red peppers, served with homemade crackers and their perfectly chewy french bread.
then we had a soup that was two soups, a roasted red pepper and 5 onion soup, delish, but not as great as everything else, but still really tasty.
I had the tenderloin that was cooked to perfection, no knife necessary. The vegetarians had a roasted vegetable roulade that I heard was well executed.
Dessert was chocolate pot de creme (kind of like mousse) with homemade cinnamon mini-donuts.
I would definitely go there again!
ok.
So we are off to the Gill Tavern for our next event on Sunday, May 16th, there are still about 6 spots left, 4 courses for $35 per person. Let me know if you are interested.
Ate at Burrito Rojo for the first time this week. Friendly service, reasonable prices and excellent food. Highly recommended!
It's great that we have all these local, quality food service establishments in town now. Next time you're thinking of stopping at the national fast food chain, try eating local instead!
