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.
