ACHILLES PROJECT: 283 Summer St. Boston MA

I wanted to let you all know about another great restaurant find in Boston. This weekend I went to this AWESOME new place (only 8 weeks old) right over the bridge on Summer St. I actually went for a "wedding," but was so impressed with the place that I ended up talking to the owner for about 20 minutes about the concept and the menu etc. He was very friendly and told me they are going to start advertising in May. The wait staff was also very friendly... but that may have been because I was on all "giddy up" from the open bar.

It is called Achilles Project and it is a boutique/bar/restaurant. That's right, they sell cloths too. The menu is quite interesting and separated into small (tapas size), medium (apt size), large (main course) and extra large (serves two) portions. And while it seemed simply "ok" priced the owner explained that all the food is more or less bought locally.

Overall, Achilles Project gets 3 kirby cakes... However, I am basing this off of the catering menu and not the regular menu. I reserve the right to adjust my "cakes" upon a proper (birthday) meal next month!!!

CHURCH: 69 Kilmarnock St. Boston MA

I went to church recently and was pretty impressed. I went with a group of about 5 friends and everyone seemed to be happy with their meals and the ambiance. The service was definitely worth the over-tipping regardless of how drunk and generous we felt. Our waiter was very friendly and over all knowledgeable (especially about the “Seven Deadly Sins” cocktails list which, I believe, consists of all fresh ingredients.) I ordered the braised lamb shank and it was amazing!!! The other dish I would highly recommend is the bacon wrapped pork loin! The eggplant rollatini was alright, but very similar to a great recipe that I picked up whilst living in London (leave me a comment if you would like me to forward the recipe to you). A couple other positives was that there is a free parking lot and if you eat dinner there and wanna go to the jazz club next door, they will comp your cover (which is like $10)… so you can always try to plan a night when there is a band there that you wanna see!

Overall, church gets 3 kirby cakes!

This is definitely one church that I will hope to attend regularly!!! (I know, I know… that was lame!)
