I’ve heard it said that people will complain to 10 people if they did not like something, but only tell one person if they really enjoyed something. So in an effort to correct that imbalance, I’m going to brag on a home town restaurant to the couple people I know read this blog.
John Henry’s here in Stafford Springs is awesome. (Slightly expensive…but awesome!) Dave, his parents and I went there last Friday and had a truly good meal. Dad B and Dave had clam chowder and I had a vegetable beef soup for an appetizer, both outstanding. Then for dinner I had top sirloin served with green peppercorn demi glaze, green onion cheddar whipped potatoes and broccoli rabe. The steak was perfection, the glaze yummy and the potatoes were better than I can make. The broccoli rabe wasn’t in my realm of yummy, but it seemed of good quality and others enjoyed it. So the meal wasn’t this extraordinary culinary feat, it was just plain good. The quality of each ingredient was superb and the quantity was perfection. It is rare that a restaurant actually buys a quality ingredient all the way through the menu, but this place puts a great plate on the table.
Thanks to Dad B for the great meal!
