The Boat Street Cafe


Date - March  13, 2009

Background - I don't do enough "networking" for my day job, so when an opportunity presented itself recently I thought the Boat Street Cafe would be a great spot for a my version of a power lunch.  It had been before, but it had been a couple of years, so I was curious if it was as good as I remembered.

Atmosphere - Very cute.  White table cloths everywhere and daffodils on every table made it feel very springy.  You'd never know it's practically underground.

Service - Excellent 

Drink- Being a work lunch, I didn't even tempt my self by looking at the wine list but given that everyone else was drinking I would guess they have a great list.  Their table water is infused with cucumber which is a nice touch.

Food - The menu is French inspired without being fussy.  I had baby crab cakes on a slice of French bread and a side salad.  It was delicious.

Verdict - I want to include this in the regular rotation.  For some reason I always forget about it - guess it's a bit off my beaten path.  I just saw they have a great happy hour on their web site, so might need to check that out as well.
