February 6th 2015: Dinner with a Friend at Precinct Kitchen and Bar, Boston

Today after work, I headed into Boston for dinner with a friend at Precinct Kitchen and Bar in Boston, located within the Loews Boston Hotel. The hotel used to be Back Bay Hotel, with the restaurant also being a different name, Cuffs, that I was at some time ago.

The hotel itself pretty much has the same decor,

as was the restaurant itself, which is pretty upscale itself.

The bar area was full of people fresh off work and waiting for the train to leave, and we had to pass through them to get to the restaurant area of the place. Finally seated, we got the Crispy Pork Belly (Pesto Lentil Stew, Avocado Mousse)

and the Seared Duck Breast Risotto.

Both dishes  were actually pretty good, but the portions were really small, especially for the high price we paid for them, and we even had to get a Boston Cream Pie for dessert.

Not bad, but way too simplistic in presentation in my opinion.

Overall, you decide whether it is worth paying the price for when there are similar restaurants in the area.
