Ever since the Pandemic began over a year ago, our favorite restaurant, Boathouse Grille in Essex, has been closed. The other day we took a drive out to Georgetown to pick up cannabis at Mission, and drove by the Boathouse... and saw that it was open again! So yesterday when I asked my husband if he wanted anything while I was out in the world (I was going to Nostos in Ipswich to pick up our draft booster box of new Magic cards for our draft this Sunday), he suggested I pick up lunch AND surprisingly even gave me a suggestion for WHERE I should pick up lunch- the Boathouse! The two things we loved to get there are still on the menu- he, a cobb salad with buffalo chicken fingers, me, a beet salad with no beets with blackened salmon (yes, I get a beet salad with no beets, because the salad has arugula [my favorite salad green], pistachios, goat cheese, and a delightful lemon vinaigrette which all go splendidly with the salmon, and I really really do not like beets!).
I ordered via phone, pick-up was nice and easy, and the food was delightful. I noticed they have erected a tent in the parking lot and have a four tap kegerator getting set up, seemingly in preparation for an outdoor seating/bar area, which is very exciting. I scheduled my husband to get his first COVID vaccine shot this coming Monday and his second shot on May 28, and maybe after that (since presumably it will be much warmer, and we will both be fully vaccinated) I can convince him to eat outdoors there, our first dining our experience since March 2020. I am looking forward to life getting back to a new normal, and seeing the Boathouse open again gave me a glimpse of the light at the end of the tunnel.
With delight,
♥Jamie
