Yankee Lobster

November 14th, 2010 · No Comments

One night in Boston I got take out dinner at Yankee Lobster. I wasn’t sure what to expect from this place but the prices were really reasonable. I just wanted something quick and casual to take out back to my hotel room. Yankee Lobster was nearby, on the waterfront, so I headed over.

Perfect. You order at the counter and there’s a small dining room. When I was there only one other person was in the restaurant. I asked the guy at the counter what their specialties were and he said the lobster roll and the fried full-bellied clams. I wasn’t really feeling either of those.

I ended up getting a small lobster bisque and the fried haddock. The bisque was really good, but SO rich. After I finished my soup I didn’t really eat a ton of the rest. A rich bisque plus a fried platter was just too much! Still, it was all very good. If you’re looking for a no-frills, casual, fresh from the boat restaurant on the waterfront, check it out.

Dinner at Marshside

Crab Cakes, Haddock, Clams Linguine, Scrod :: Marshside, East Dennis, Cape Cod

After going to Eden, Michaela came over to our house and we spent the day at the beach (what else is new!?). Then we went home and got ready and went out for dinner at Marshside in East Dennis. I heard that not too long ago they totally brought down the whole restaurant and rebuilt it. It’s really pretty. Big decks outside (too bad there wasn’t any outdoor seating) and inside was kind of a modern rustic, if such thing exists. There were many, many windows through which you could see the marsh, hence the name Marshside. All of the windows kind of made it so that the marsh was very much a part of the decor of the restaurant.

Michaela and I shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and Julie and Jess shared a red wine at the bar while we waited to be seated at a table. We shared dinner appetizers. I ordered the crab cakes (of course), Michaela got the Cesar salad, Jess got the clam chowder, and Julie got seafood stew. The crab cakes were so much better than I’d had a few days earlier at Skippy’s Pier 1. The clam chowder was really good. Definitely better than Skippy’s but we still favored The Skipper’s chowdah. In hindsight, we really did not enjoy Skippy’s, which is a shame because Jess’s aunt Mau, who we stayed with my last trip to the Cape, works there.. but she’s a bartender.. nothing to do with the food.

Jess and Michaela both got Scrod entrees, I got the haddock and Julie got clams linguine. To be honest, I found the dinner we had at Colombo’s to be more memorable as far as how the food tasted. I know haddock is kind of a bland fish, but the way this was prepared.. if you didn’t take a bite right on the sauce, there was no flavor at all. However, the mashed potatoes were delicious. Jess really enjoyed the scrod and we applauded her for ordering it. She had never really liked fish, but is trying to expand her horizons because a lot of it is mental. I think Michaela and Julie enjoyed their food, too.
