The lobstermen have a huge area to store gear, and tie up their boats similar to the State Fish Pier in Gloucester.

Supreme Roast Beef Dinner

Back in High School we would go to this joint in Danvers Square called Supreme Roast Beef. The owner George was always tolerant of our young juvenile behavior. The man must have the patience of a saint.

In February of last year he opened up the second Supreme Roast Beef location in the site of the former Chic’s Roast Beef. George, his son Tony and daughter Irene have spruced up the place and are always very pleasant. It’s been a nice upgrade.

Here is a picture of my Roast Beef Plate. Three way(sauce, cheese, mayo). It cost $7.65
Fantastic.

Is this man crazy or what? LOL

Well I think we all know he’s a little crazy but is there anyone else that decides 23.5 °F / -4.7 °C is a nice temperature for a row?

God bless.

The Causeway

Had fried smelt at the Causeway Restaurant yesterday. $7.99 for a generous amount of fresh fried smelt and french fries. I couldn’t finish them and I can generally put away a huge amount of fried smelt.

Before ordering I was sure to ask if the smelt were fresh or previously frozen. Our most excellent server recognizing that we were seafood industry people assured us that the smelt were indeed fresh to my delight. Service was outstanding. It reminded me that this is the time of year to really take advantage of the Causeway when you can get in without the huge lines of summer. There were a ton of items all under $10. Is there anyone out there that doesn’t already know about the huge portions?

My advice is to get there now while you can, and before the throngs of summer people come and you won’t be able to enjoy this treasure of a place. Another in the long list of great joints to eat in our killer city!

Third week of January and lobster gear is stacked up in piles all over the place waiting til next year.

Port of Call Grilled Eggplant Sandwich

I had a grilled eggplant sandwich that was outstanding. It came with roasted red peppers, homemade pesto, and swiss cheese on a nice light delicious roll. Cost $7.50

Really really tasty.

The Caesar Salad with steak tips were colossal and looked excellent also. For the amount of steak tips and size of the salad it looked to be a bargain at $8.50

This is a better pic of the infamous Octopus. The sushi chef told me that inside the head there will be a light fixture that is supposed to light it up. Should look pretty wild.

St Peter’s Dock Looking to Latitude 43

This is the view from St Peter’s Park loking to Latitude 43. The deck loos to be good sized. Should be a great spot this summer.

Forgot to post this pic of the pub area at Latitude 43. Not a great shot but it gives an idea of the space for those that are interested.
