Since we were back in Tiverton and it was long after lunch but slightly before dinner, we took a chance on the highly rated Boat House restaurant that was too crowded the first time we stopped.
.
.
It really is a gorgeous spot.
.
.
And equally as attractive inside as out, with lovely views from all the tables.
.
.
Which is why we sat at the bar.
*sigh…*
Oh well, my Limoncello margarita was fabulous no matter where I parked my keister.
Reposado tequila, limoncello, lemon, agave. Simple, and delicious.
.
.
A perfect compliment to my Caesar salad with homemade croutons.
.
.
Husband’s seafood chowder was rich and delicious.
.
.
Cocktail #2, and okay… #3 as well… was the Princessa, a bar favorite.
Bacardi Limon, strawberry purée, fresh lemon juice, club soda, mint. Again, simple but fabulous.
.
.
As you know we tend to be picky when we eat out. A place has to check 3 boxes to earn a star from us. Atmosphere, cocktails and food quality.
So far, so good.
.
.
Husband’s filet mignon with burgundy demi glacé, asparagus and garlic mashed potatoes?
Perfection.
.
.
My lemon beurre blanc grilled shrimp , roasted Brussels sprouts and garlic mashed potatoes?
Perfect as well.
And dessert?
.
.
Good grief. Bananas Foster cheesecake with caramel drizzle, banana liqueur soaked bananas, homemade cinnamon whipped cream and chocolate lace.
Be still my heart…. this place was goooood!
.
.
I swear to God I’d be tempted to make the 4 hour drive from Maine just to eat there again.
.
.
Even if I have to fight off all the people who live in this mini mountain of high end condos right beside it.

River's world..... 
Oh, nice! It’s awesome when the food and drinks are good and tasty. Because being on vacation and having bad food I’d a crime. But it’s down right blasphemous if the cocktails are bad as well.

So, reserve the spot and make it an overnight, say for an anniversary or birthday or something… 🙂

A neighborhood. Even in the middle of the outback, people discovered the solitude. I enjoy your food pics but to me the isolation and the people free zone in Maine is fascinating. There are always few people in your pics. That looks good.

This was actually Rhode Island, not Maine. But our coastlines are similar.

I love filet mignon but am currently limited to ground beef – and even that’s a splurge!!

Eating out is most definitely a treat these days. We got Chinese takeout the other night… for two… and it was almost $65, no drinks, desserts. Crazy.

One large won ton soup. One chicken finger appetizer. One beef fried rice and one chicken lo mein. A few years ago that was $37 tops.

It was in Rhode Island during our recent trip. The only antique store was that awful junk emporium.

OK, you know I enjoy sitting at a bar too, but with a view like that? Not a chance!
The meal really does look fabulous from start to finish.

You could see the water from the bar, but not very well.
