Dear Audubon Boston,
You are perfect.
Love, Tiffiny
OK, so I was just in Boston from Friday morning until the wee hours of this morning (Sunday). I was in town to walk in the Boston University College of Fine Arts ceremony, because I earned my MA in Art Education, in December.
Friday night, my friend told us about Audubon and since it was a short walk from where we were staying and it sounded like a nice establishment, we all went. Upon arrival, a nice and handsome man with a Boston Red Sox cap on (with a pen tucked underneath), greeted us at the door. A table was not quite ready for us, so we hung out at the bar. Once our table was ready, the handsome man escorted us to our table. Our waitress was awesome, courteous, and genuinely nice. The food at our table was the pork schnitzel, the burger, the steak press, the veggie burger, and the cavatelli pasta. Everyone enjoyed their food. My burger was particularly delicious, it truly had a ton of flavor. Yummo!!
Fast forward to Saturday night... My friends, family, and I had just endured a 2 hour graduation ceremony. We were hungry and the list of food establishments that I had made was not panning out. So, we decided to go back to Audubon. Part of my group got to the restaurant before I did. The handsome staff member was there again and had greeted them and inquired about the occasion that was being celebrated. When he learned about my graduation, he offered to print out a brand new menu, that said 'Congratulations Tiffiny!' on it. So, when I arrived I was looking at the menu and boom, there's a personalized message for me. How rad is that?!
The food was once again delicious. Turkey Cubano, cavatelli, the special of the night, a swordfish kabob; a burger, and the steak tips. A member of our party is allergic to cumin and it turns out that it is in the carrot pureé that comes with the steak tips. Our waitress was so quick and efficient to get the situation straightened out. She was great the entire night, recommended items to people in my party and even brought us cute little glasses of champagne and sparkling cider, to celebrate.
Both nights we were able to sit and chat for as long as we wanted, after the bill was paid. Most establishments say that there is no rush, but then you feel them piercing a hole in your soul, with their firey stare. Not here! They mean it. They want you to enjoy yourself. And it seems that many people other than myself do enjoy their time at Audubon, because it's hoppin' all night.
If you couldn't tell by my essay, I highly recommend!! Now, I'm just sitting here in Southern California dreaming of Audubon! read more
