An Evening Out: Day 119

Tonight Jim and I headed to Blue Back Square in West Hartford, a new shopping plaza that opened last fall. We had read about this new restaurant that recently opened there, and thought we would try it.....

We had some interesting choices for dinner, but ultimately decided on the Antipasto Meat and Cheese Platter where you got to choose 3 meats and 3 cheeses. The ones we chose are checked...they were SO good..especially because they were served with homemade bread, and 3 condiments...honey with truffles, pineapple compote and blackberry coulis. We also ordered Eggplant Caponata, served with homemade pita bread...to die for...it had pine nuts and red peppers..mmm-mmm.

For our second course we had a fried Calamari appetizer and we shared a baby Arugala salad, which was baby arugala and frissee, served with Chevre, candied pecans and dried/fresh blueberries with a blueberry vinagrette...Also, SO delicious! By this time we were stuffed . I also had a delicious martini to begin and Jim had Italian beer.After dinner we strolled around the shops at Blue Back Square...
We went in here and looked around drooling at everything...... Then into B&N where I bought Jim a book for Father's Day...(and a scrapbooking magazine for me..hee hee)

We took a goofy picture of us under the umbrella while we were walking around....
On our way home we stopped at the Big Y to get a few things for our Father's Day barbecue tomorrow...We are having homemade turkey burgers, roasted potatoes, salad and strawberry shortcake for dessert...yum. All for the best Dad in the world!
