When a perennial favorite ceases to exist, it is often difficult to fill the void. For 36 deLux, that has not held true. Located in the home of the former Richard's Bistro, 36 deLux has done a terrific job of providing the same excellent quality of food, service, and atmosphere that its predecessor did. Of course, the new owner previously was a chef at Richard's, which may help account for the smooth transition.
Since its opening in November 2011, I have dined there on two different occasions. The first was a business lunch, which gave me a small glimpse

Burtons Grill, Nashua, NH

Although Burtons Grill opened at the Pheasant Lane Mall in August, I didn't have (or make) the opportunity to visit it until mid-December. With lots of presents to be bought at that time of year, I knew I would be spending a decent amount of time at the mall. With a little planning, I could make the trip into a shopping and dining experience. As luck and a little bit of scheduling would have it, I was able to dine at Burtons twice within a two-week period.

Black Friday was an exciting day at our house but not because we were dashing to early morning (late night?) sales. It was exciting because there were no sporting events, practices, or work meetings to attend. As we knew all of this weeks in advance, we planned to take our kids to Boston for the day. The plan was to visit a museum or two and browse the shops on Newbury Street. While it was a wonderful day, our thirteen year old daughter and I never made it to the art museum. The lure of visiting more shops was

During a summer trip to Baltimore, my husband and I spent one evening strolling the Inner Harbor. With a simple plan of walking and occasionally stopping for a cocktail and a snack, we found many enjoyable restaurants. Our last stop of the night was at Charleston. Upon entering, the restaurant emanated a luxurious atmosphere. We enjoyed an hour or so in their lounge, speaking with our waitress and sampling a dish. We knew that we would need to return for a full evening of dining.

XO on Elm
by TT on October 25th, 2011 | Restaurant Reviews
A little over a month ago, my husband and I attended the annual wine tasting and auction for the Palace Theatre. It was a fabulous evening of (You guessed it!) wine tasting that ended with an auction. Of course, there were other pieces to this evening, such as some beautiful art and delicious food samples from local restaurants. We participated in one of the raffles, which netted us a gift certificate to XO on Elm. This restaurant has been on our need-to-try list for a while, and the certificate was the nudge we needed to go.
