If Italian food is your thing then New England gives you many options. From big chains to smaller, more unique establishments, you’re sure to find one to your liking. Some will argue that the best around can be found in Providence on the famous Federal Hill. I myself beg to differ. If you don’t mind driving a little off the beaten path you’ll find a hidden gem. In a small plaza, just off 140 in East Freetown, is The Nephew’s Restaurant. If you want authentic, homemade, Italian cuisine, the freshest seafood or the biggest, juiciest steaks than The Nephew’s is the place for you. Last Friday night me and my fiancée decided to venture out into the cold for dinner and decided to stay local. Upon entering the parking lot it doesn’t …show more content…
You can choose to be seated on the bar side which is the smaller side and includes the smooth wooden bar surrounded by about fifteen high backed bar stools and a few booths and tables scattered sparsely. Above the bar hang two flat screen televisions and a few low light fixtures dimly lit to give just the right ambience of warmth and relaxation. On the opposite side is the main dining area which includes quite a few more comfortably sized booths and some round tables which could probably fit five adults comfortably. The seating might feel a little cramped for some but the friendly dispositions of all the patrons makes it feel like one big happy family. The quick banter and joyous laughter that fill this place can’t help but make you feel like you’re amongst friends. The atmosphere is surely one of the reasons this place has a loyal following. We decided to sit on the main dining side and once seated we were promptly greeted by one of the cheerful waitresses, Christine, to take our drink order. I ordered water and John ordered a sprite ($2.30) and then we proceeded to look at the menu. This place doesn’t have a ten page menu, but they don’t need one. Everything on the menu is an authentic homemade dish. Trying to decide what to order might be your biggest problem because everything sounds mouthwatering. John already knew he was going to order the prime rib since we had heard it was the best around and I was trying to decide on the sirloin steak with bleu
You have a choice of either sitting inside or outside. It is perched in the corner near a busy street. Normally, parking is an issue, but here there is a parking lot reserved only for Bear Flag Cafe customers. The parking lot is directly next to the restaurant, so there is no walk. Inside it 's spacious, but during rush hours it gets very busy! I witnessed two families running for a single table, like two dogs sprinting for a ball. Outside, there are tables in every direction with a fountain resting in the center. It 's a place where you and your
Sipping on iced-cold sweet tea, I watch multiple waiters gather up and begin line dancing to loud country music that plays in the background. By the time im almost halfway through with my beverage and almost full due to the warm, freshly baked rolls, a smiling waitress brings my family our food. She kindly places down our meal, tells us to enjoy and leaves to let us chow down. Resting on the plate in front of me is a thick, juicy piece of rib eye steak thats paired with loaded mashed potatoes and freshly cooked vegetables. Texas Roadhouse has come to be one of my favorite restaurantst to dine at. They provide excellent food complimented by great service and the unique atmosphere of the restaurant is full of energy and always has some type of entertainment going on.
As we walked up, this establishment looks like any other Applebee’s I’ve been to. It looked clean and well maintained from the outside, and these characteristics carried over as we traveled inside. We were greeted by a Dassel-Cokato Alumni, and he happily led us to where we would feast for the evening. He sat as at two tables shoved together big enough to fit 10 people, but we only had 6. All of us knew exactly what we needed to satisfy our hunger pains, so we didn’t even look at the menus. Our waitress was quick to get our drinks and take our orders. I took advantage of the half-priced appetizers deal, and asked for an order of classic boneless wings along with an order of mozzarella sticks.
The most irritating thing is to have to wait for the staff to bring you things that you need to enjoy your meal. During my last visit my waitress, Manni was the best I’ve ever had at Applebee’s. When the hostess sat us Manni was there to introduce herself and to get our drinks within 2 minutes. When I go out to eat my most favorite part is lemonade. My first question is always what kind of lemonade they have and the selections are normally wide and I choose a different every time. The pomegranate lemonade is to die for and a must have. After the drinks were ordered we were ready to order. Ordering was easy with having a waitress that is very familiar with the menu and able to give suggestions on the popular items, what’s her favorite and what’s her least favorite. After our food arrived she visited our table regularly making sure the food was tasting great and constantly refilling drinks. Her attentiveness was amazing and she deserved every bit of her tip. “MB and I enjoyed the friendly and relaxed manner of our server, Miguela. She was there when we needed her. She did not intrude,” said Marilyn.
We frequent the Brandon Bonefish Grill frequently throughout the year for a casual lunch, Sunday brunch or on special occasions like birthdays or anniversaries and enjoy it every single time. It is not your normal night out at a restaurant. It is an experience. From the moment you pull up out front, there is beautiful green tropical plants that make you feel you have left the hustle and bustle of the city, escaping to an exotic location. The hostess opens the big wooden door to greet you and as you walk in, a great tune is softly playing overhead. The bar and tables throughout the restaurant are full of people, laughing, having a good time and it feels like you have walked in to a friend or family member’s house. The entire restaurant smells
