Restaurant Week- Part 1

Ok, so I'm on vacation all this week, but decided not to go anywhere. I'm taking the money I would have spent on plane tickets, hotel rooms and hashish and putting it towards food instead. Thankfully, it's Restaurant Week here in Boston. For the uninitiated, Restaurant Week features a couple hundred area restaurants offering a price fixe menu -a few different choices of appetizer, a few different choices of entree, and a few choices of dessert. It's $20.08 for lunch (isn't that clever?? It's 2008, and the price is $20.08! Get it?? Ha!), and $33.08 for dinner.
Anyway, today I went to Sandrine's Bistro in Harvard Square. As an appetizer, I had one of those salads with like 9 different kinds of lettuce- nothing special there. As an entree, I had mushroom ravioli in a tomato scallion broth with artichokes (see picture)- pretty tasty. For dessert, I had a nectarine and blueberry cobbler with vanilla bean ice cream.
The highlight, though, was the baked escargot in a garlic butter sauce. It wasn't part of the price fixe menu, so I had to pay an extra $18 for it, but it was totally worth it. The waiter was even cool enough to keep me heavily supplied with bread so I could soak up all of the garlic butter sauce. After the general $20.08, my 3 iced teas (Mr. Waiter Man neglected to tell me each refill would be charged to me), the escargot and the gratuity, my "$20.08" lunch ended up costing me a little over $50, but it was well worth it. I've had to eat an entire tube of Breathsavers to kill the dragon breath from the garlic butter (even Retzin seems powerless against it).
As I have another half dozen or so places booked already, I'll keep you updated, since I know what I eat is captivating for you all.
Next up is Anthony's Pier 4, where I've been a million times, but they've changed up the menu- looking forward to it.
