December 31st 2021: Family Lunch at Sole Proprietor, Worcester

Today, the family decided to have lunch at Sole Proprietor, a seafood restaurant in Worcester which we have been to many times in the past. This time around, we got the Strawberry Mojito (Bacardi Limon, strawberry liqueur, mint, lime juice, strawberry purée and soda, with a sugared rim),

the STEAMED MAINE CLAMS ( 1 lb. with butter and broth),

the BUSTER ROLL (Jumbo lump crab meat, spicy mayo, crab stick, cucumber, and scallion,

topped with wasabi sauce and toasted panko crumbs),

the STEAMED MAINE MUSSELS (1 lb. of fresh mussels, steamed with garlic and white wine), 

the OVEN ROASTED CRAB CAKES (Over chipotle corn remoulade and arugula with lemon vinaigrette),

the PEAR & WALNUT SALAD (Romaine and arugula tossed with a honey tarragon vinaigrette, walnuts, dried cranberries and Bleu cheese. Topped with red wine poached pears),

the STUFFED SOLE (Crab stuffed Sole topped with seasoned bread crumbs and lemon butter.

Served over jasmine rice and sautéed spinach),

and the PESTO SCALLOPS & SHRIMP (Pan seared scallops and gulf shrimp tossed with cavatappi

pasta and tomatoes in a pesto cream sauce).

The drink was just so-so, but all the food dishes were delicious. The seafood was really fresh, especially the sweetness of the clams, the crispiness of the crab cakes and sushi, and the flavor of the pasta. Definitely much better than the Restaurant Week meal we had a few months ago.
