IL Massimo, Federal Hill Providence RI.

Lobster Crepes- Lobster, Mushroom, Marscarpone, Sherry Shallot Cream and Creme Fraiche 🦞

I have reviewed Massimo before because I loved their dinner menu! But, this was my first time going there for brunch and it was another great dining experience 🦞

First of all their brunch menu is very diverse and everyone in your party will find something delicious to eat. From pancakes, to pasta, to seafood they have everything someone will want to eat! The whole family will leave with happy bellies 😉

The lobster crepes were delicious! The lobster meat was very fresh and there was a good amount of meat in the crepe. I really enjoyed the sauce/ creams the crepes were in. I love sherry cream with any seafood honestly. The only thing I would say is I wish there was more! I have only had lobster crepes one other time and I have to admit they are becoming one of my favorite brunch items!

Based on presentation and taste of the Lobster Crepes I would rate this dish a 9 out of 10.

Dewolf Tavern, Bristol RI.

Dewolf Tavern is my favorite restaurant in Bristol. I love going there for a special occasion. They have delicious drinks and delicious food. Their chef is also very nice, we got to meet him at Thanksgiving last year! Yesterday was the first time I had their breakfast and I was very impressed!

The Lobster Benedict was amazing. The amount of lobster they give you is a good amount and it is filling. The lobster meat is very fresh and tastes delicious with the egg and hollandaise sauce. The potatoes were delicious, cooked perfectly. The perfect bite with the rye toast, lobster, egg, sauce and a potato made for a delicious breakfast that filled me up for hours!

Based on presentation and taste of the Lobster Benedict I would rate this dish a 10 out of 10. 🦞

Quito’s Restaurant and Shellfish, Bristol RI.

The Lobster Pappardelle- Local Lobster sautéed in a creamy cheese sauce over pappardelle noddles 🦞

When the warm weather finally hits Bristol you can find me at one of my favorite seafood restaurants!! The beautiful view of the Bristol Harbor and the delicious food always makes Quito’s a perfect dining spot!

Last night I over indulged and ordered a lot of food! We started with oyster from the Bristol Harbor, lobster bisque and quahogs. All of apps were delicious and super fresh. The amount of lobster they give you on the lobster bisque is a good amount.

The Lobster Pappardelle had so much lobster meat that I was really surprised with the portion size. The creamy cheese sauce over the pasta and lobster made every bite just melt in your mouth. I loved the amount of fresh, local lobster they added to the dish. I don’t have anything I would change about this dish at all. This had to be one of my favorite dishes at Quito’s.

Based on presentation and taste of the Quito’s Lobster Pappardelle I would rate this dish a 10 out of 10.

Quito’s Restaurant and Shellfish, Bristol RI.

Talk about a perfect location for some seafood with a view 🌊 This restaurant has an amazing location right on the Bristol Harbor overlooking the water.

Quito’s offers two different types of lobster rolls, the cold roll w/ mayo and hot roll w/ butter. This roll is the cold roll w/ mayo. They give you a great amount of lobster meat and it is definitely a very filling roll. The #lobstermayoratio was good, with a lot of meat and not too much mayo. The only problem was I found two little shells in my lobster. That means they use fresh, real lobster but it is not safe to eat and you have to be careful w/ lobster rolls. It was a good lobster roll, I would like to go back and get the hot lobster roll 🦞

Based on presentation and taste of the lobster roll I would rate this roll a 7 out of 10.

Matunuck Oyster Bar, Wakefield RI.

Stuffed Lobster- 1 1⁄2 lb lobster with jumbo shrimp, scallops and seafood stuffing, served with mashed red bliss potatoes and Matunuck Farm Chef ’s vegetables.

Matunuck Oyster Bar is my favorite restaurant in RI. I don’t get to go there a lot but when I do I really enjoy the food, cocktails and atmosphere! It is right on the water and it is a perfect location to enjoy a delicious meal either on the outdoor seating, indoor seating or roof top!

This was my first time getting the stuffed lobster and I’m so happy I did. The lobster was stuffed with shrimp, scallops and lobster meat. The breading on top was light so you really could taste the seafood.

The breading on the stuffed lobster was just the topping of the lobster shell. The inside was all meat. When the two mixed together it was a delicious taste of the seafood and with nice crunch of the breading. The side of butter was key to enjoy all the lobster meat in the lobster! I really don’t have anything negative to say about this dish and it is the best stuffed lobster I have had to date 🦞

Based on presentation and taste of the stuffed lobster I would rate this dish a 10 out of 10. 🦞

Dewolf Tavern, Bristol RI

Lobster Popover 🦞

I have reviewed the Dewolf Tavern and the Lobster Popover in the past and I can never say enough about how delicious this restaurant is. The atmosphere is very warm and cozy and the food is incredible. I would say it is my favorite restaurant in Bristol.

The other night the Lobster Popover was a special on the menu so of course I had to get it 😉 It is truly my favorite dish on the menu 🦞 Thank you Dewolf Tavern for adding this as a special and making my night 😉

Ocean House, Watch Hill RI.

Stonington Scallop Roll- Crispy Scallops, Tartar Sauce and Brioche

Yesterday was my Birthday 🥳 Since Ocean House is one of my favorite places, I knew I had to go there for lunch!

I love the town of Watch Hill! It is an adorable beach community with gorgeous beaches, nice shops and beautiful views. I have reviews the Ocean House a few times but every time I go there I get something new. I usually get the lobster roll or anything lobster but I decided to switch it up and get the scallop roll.

The scallop roll was a delicious roll, but not as good as a lobster roll 😉 The scallops were cooked perfectly with just a little crisp to give the scallop a little crunch. The scallops tasted fresh and there was a good amount of them. The tartar sauce that went on the scallops complimented the scallops really well. I really like how the tartar was over the scallops and not on the bun. It made sure the bun never got soggy. I love going to the bistro at the Ocean House because the atmosphere is so nice and welcoming. I love how some of their menu changes with the season!

Based on presentation and taste of the scallop roll I would rate this a 9 out of 10.
