After walking around the clam festival for a few hours we were hungry, but not for fried clams. Seems counter intuitive, I know… but the stomach wants what the stomach wants.
.

.
We drove to the next town, Falmouth… and found one of our favorite spots positively deserted.
.

.
Having no problem finding a seat at the bar I sampled a Melano Fizz. This consisted of cucumber-infused vodka, melon liqueur, italicus apertivo, simple syrup, and fresh lime juice.
In a word? Yum.
.

.
My go to appetizer here is the crab arancini.
Husband went with the lobster bisque …
.

.
Which was lovely and loaded with lobster but served in one of those ridiculously small bowls made to look large.
.

.
Toddy number two was the hibiscus berry sangria.
.

.
Nice, but not nearly flavorful enough for me.
.

.
My meal was a wonderful carbonara with fresh pasta and grilled chicken. It was so good I paid no attention to my husband’s meal and failed to photograph it. My bad.
On our drive home?
.

.
Cow!
.

Cow, on a rock…
Who didn’t appreciate her meal being interrupted by the paparazzi.

The carbonara looks great. II make it alll the time, but not with grilled chicken. Thanks for flipping the light switch.

I’m disappointed, no clams. Anyway the first cocktail and arancini looked wonderful, as did the carbonara. That second drink, not so much. But COW!!! She looked like she’s living the life.

We get fresh clams all the time up here, it’s not really a big deal.

I love cows! That human beings could have such eyes… Have we seen this restaurant before? I seem to remember the giant goldfish on the wall.

Cocktails would be great right now! I’ve been craving pasta/chicken dishes, but after 2 disappointing experiences, I’m not willing to risk a 3rd.

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the first drink was actually made with a 🥒 ?
