February 8, 2015…

As I have noted, we plan to get to each of the 9 Serentitee group restaurants this winter. We are featuring Cala’s on Beach St in Manchester By The Sea this time. We visited with our friends Susan and Leo. We had originally planned to go to a different restaurant but that one was unexpectedly (temporarily) closed that evening and Cala’s was Susan’s suggestion. The bar area was full of a lively Friday night crowd and we were seated in the smallish dining area. It’s small but cozy and our server Kelley was informed and friendly.

Susan ordered one of the specials, shrimp scampi appetizer and Leo ordered another menu special chicken and broccoli alfredo. I got the taco salad and Jim ordered fish tacos. In addition, we ordered the edamame and you see it was a large portion with plenty leftover to take home. There was nothing left of the meals as they were delicious and well-portioned. Apple crisp finished up the night for dessert. We all enjoyed our experience and as we sat there, the restaurant continued to fill up so clearly it’s popular with a wide range of customers. Thank you Kelley and Cala’s! Another Serenitee win.

We’re on week 4 at the Whistlestop and loving it!!! ❤️
