March 27th 2019: Meals at High End Restaurants in Hopkinton and Worcester

Today, passing through Ashland,

Waterview Lodge

I stopped by in Hopkinton,

Weston Nurseries

getting lunch at Central Public House, a pretty upscale restaurant in town.

I got the Veggie Burger (Black bean, garbanzo beans, sticky rice and veggie blend. Buttered roll, bibb lettuce and tomato, served with chipotle mayo),

which was quite tasty, especially the crispy fries served on the side. Probably will come back for dinner some day.

For dinner, I went to try out the City Bar and Grille in Worcester, a new upscale place replacing Caffe Trattoria Espresso. Really nice ambience here.

 

For food, I got the Crispy Chicken Drum Sticks (Cholula lime honey, spicy pineapple, cabbage slaw) for appetizers

and the Beer Braised Short Rib (potato dumplings, carrots, horseradish, natural gravy)

for the main course. The chicken was delicious and crispy, even when cold, while the short rib came out looking like a piece of steak and going really well with all the components of the dish. A definite recommend from me.
