Blue Inc. (Review)

Thanks to our lovely sitter, Kristine A, and foodie
-friends, Auntie Abra and Uncle Peter, Tony and Wendy stepped out for a post-holiday foodie-feast at Boston's Blue, Inc. operated by chef/owner and former Hell's Kitchen contestant, Jason Santos (aka: Blue Jay).  Within the last few months since its opening, Jason has turned this riveting ocean-view bistro into a true gem located in Boston's financial district. With the help of Trish -- Blue Inc.'s very own mixologist and hostess-with-the-mostess--this dining adventure out will be one that none of us forgets for many, many moons to come.

Pan-Seared Salmon over mushrooms topped with lobster salad. YUM!

Freshly prepared cod over garlic mashed potatoes

Cabernet Sauvignon braised short ribs...

Although we are well aware of Boston prices, this tiny little trifle was marketed at a steep $9.  We requested one for the entire table, and all thought the same thing: 2 tiny circles of beet-infused chocolate cake with some sauces and a spoonful of ice cream (regardless of how yummy or beautifully presented), may be overpriced. :)

But, we were re-enamored with the joint once 'Amazing Trish-the-Dish' appeared not only with an after-dinner aperitif, but superiorly concocted milkshakes frozen with liquid nitrogen- tableside. For those not familiar with molecular gastronomy, liquid nitrogen is used to quickly freeze any item--and it does--with an incredible sideshow to boot. Well done, Trish!

 This was THE best way to top off our holidays with special family members in tow. Fortunately for us, we got this on the calendar due to Auntie Abra's failed sense of direction and too many options on OpenTable. :) Ask her about it next time you see her...she'll explain better than we can. :) Heee..heee..
