Top Shelf
July 3rd, 2011
Last week we went to check out the newly opened Top Shelf restaurant at 250 Worcester Rd. (Where Bronzetti’s used to be)
Inside was nicely remodeled. I remember how Bronzetti’s didn’t remodel after taking the space over form a sushi bar and it was awkwardly still Japanese looking for an Italian/pizza place.
Our server brought over some fresh focaccia bread with dipping oil that was a little spicy but very flavorful.
We each got a salad, which generously portioned. Ethan got a Caesar that he enjoyed a lot, nothing unusual about it but had nice crisp lettuce and just the right amount of a tasty dressing.
I got a Greek salad and this was actually my favorite part of the meal:
It was a perfect ratio of green and kalamata olives with tomato, roasted red pepper, cucumber, red onion and feta. It was more than enough even without lettuce.
For dinner Ethan got the special baked cod that was really good. I never think of cod as that great of a dish but it was so fresh and that really made a difference in making this a delicious choice. The red potatoes were perfectly cooked too. Broccoli and carrots were decently mild and a nice side to have.
I got the scallops with roasted red pepper pesto.
The scallops were good, the sauce was okay, I think in general $16 is a lot for 4 scallops (although it comes with three red potatoes and broccoli and carrots)
For dessert we shared a chocolate cake and the berries and cream recommended by our server.
The chocolate cake was fantastic, really rich and just enough cream on it. The berries were in Grand Marnier whipped cream which was a nice, lightly textured dessert to follow a full meal.
