While our breakfast at the Homeport Bed and Breakfast was the culinary highlight of our time in Saint John, our dinner at Bourbon Quarter came in at a length behind second. Most of the food was enjoyable; however, the service was, well, interesting.
We arrived at Bourbon Quarter at 7:30 at which point the restaurant was half-full. We opted to eat on the lounge side of the restaurant in a booth designed for two. We were greeted by the bartender who was friendly and attentive. She delivered water to us and let us know that our waitress would

Homeport Bed and Breakfast, Saint John, New Brunswick

Over Independence Day weekend, we found ourselves without children, so we packed our bags and headed on a road trip. Without firm plans in place, we drove northeast, headed for New Brunswick. As we drove, we decided to spend the night in Saint John. Being on the water and able to visit the Reversing River, it seemed like a unique destination.
Sadly, we found Saint John to be underwhelming. The downtown was quiet, and the city market seemed not all that different from the shopping districts in our area. The Reversing Rivers was interesting but an overwhelming amount of fog

My husband and I are both morning people, which means that even on a weekend he's awake by 5:30 and I'm awake by 6:30. With these "early" starts to the day, we both enjoy a morning that starts with work and is followed by a late breakfast. After a few hours of exercise, chores, and work projects, both of us have created appetites that are ready for a hearty breakfast.
This past Sunday was one of those days. As we wanted to spend the early afternoon doing some shopping for home decor and farm fresh produce, we needed to choose

Living in New Hampshire, my husband and I are quite used to the lack of late night dining options. However, we didn't fully realize how early restaurants stop serving dinner on a weekend night until this past winter.
We had season tickets to the Palace Theatre in Manchester, all for shows on Saturday nights at 7:30. Preferring a later dinner, we planned to stroll the downtown and have a meal after the show. Luckily for us, the first show ended a few minutes before 9:30, and we were able to find a restaurant that would serve dinner. However,

Review: The Friendly Toast, Portsmouth, NH

Over Thanksgiving weekend, my husband and I took a quick overnight trip to Portsmouth. We love visiting this ocean community as there are many adorable shops and a wide array of restaurants. We have spent several delightful evenings here, enjoying the amazing queso at Agave.
On our last stay in Portsmouth, we enjoyed a hearty breakfast at Roundabout Diner before heading home. This time we decided to try something new to us and chose The Friendly Toast. Located a short half-mile walk from our hotel, we were there in no time. Although it was 9:30 on a Sunday
