Tonights dinner was a special dinner, it was the 42nd wedding anniversary of my folks (Mike and Mary). I must confess i was a little nervous trying somewhere i had never been for such a special evening, but my nerves were calmed rather quickly. The waitstaff at Society was very polite and friendly. I asked a few questions and i found their answered clear and helpful.
The restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating and i think if it was warmer it would have sat outside, but the indoor area was comfortable and had a nice warm feeling to it. The bar is quite large and but from what i observed it was well staffed. The bar served several lovely beers from some local breweries. I enjoyed a nice brew from tropical Framingham.
Mike and I got the exact same meal, the grilled Rib Eye. What a lovely hunk of piece, cooked perfectly with a nice seared crust. It had some fat, but just the right amount you want for flavor. The sauce perigord was a beautiful addition to the meat, it was so well seasoned it required no additional salt or pepper. The side dish was something i never had before, white asparagus. I enjoyed this very much, it went well with the au gratin spuds. Not too cheesy but super flavor, and the perfect portion.
Mary broke from tradition and got the Roast Chicken Statler (she almost alwas gets fish when we go out). She loved it, great flavor combinations with the goat cheese, the artichokes and the bacon. Its quite rare for my mother to finish a meal but she enjoyed every bite of tonights dinner. The portion was great, a full plate but not so much food that you are overwhelmed ( i don't know about you, but seeing a plate where the food is spilling over onto the plate is a bit of a turn off, it looks glutinous to me).
We then decided we were too full to each get a dessert, but were so impressed by the meal so far that we felt it would be a shame to not split at least 1 dessert on such a special occasion. So before our waitress could finish saying peach cobbler we all decided that was the 1 for us. A very good decision by the Boyle family. It had a moist cakey filling with a generous portion of peaches on top, served with a scoop of their creamy homemade vanilla ice cream….ala mode = all a good. ;-)
For 3 entrees , a few cocktails and a dessert i was impressed we could get such a fabulous meal for such a reasonable price.
I would highly recommend going to Society on High street, and since i work just down the road, feel free to give me a call and i'll join you.
have a great night and a great meal.
