Following Xiaohongshu: Some Meals Were Surprises, Some Were Letdowns

🦞 Atlantic Fish Co 🥣 Clam Chowder Packed with ingredients and very rich — recommended! Goes great with the complimentary bread ✨ 🥖 Lobster Roll Stuffed with lobster meat, but the buttered bread was a bit too oily. Side of fries was decent 🍟 🍝 Lobster Ravioli The dumplings are filled generously with lobster. The lemon-infused sauce is delicious and refreshing — loved it! 🥗 Tatte A must-visit spot 😍 If they were in the western U.S., I’d eat here every day! 🍳 Shakshuka (white sauce version) Potato + mushroom make it incredibly rich and tasty 🤤 🎃 Salmon with Veg Rice Bowl The salmon was okay, but the fried rice underneath was even more fragrant. The roasted pumpkin in the autumn version was quite nice too. 🍰 Raspberry Cheesecake Not overly sweet at all! Light, creamy texture with a milky aroma. 🥧 Pistachio Cherry Tart Pleasantly light on sugar, well-balanced nutty and fruity notes. 🍣 Matsunori Solid sushi — 5 pieces is plenty for one person 👌 ✨ Toro + Mushroom — rich, fatty, and satisfying ✨ Miso Butter Cod — tender and flavorful ✨ Foie Gras + Apple — rich foie gras paired with crisp apple ⚠️ Lobster Roll was average — can skip 🥞 Cafe Bonjour Brunch spot next to the hotel — went on a rainy day for convenience ☔️ Busy and lively inside, feels like a classic roadside diner 🍳 Eggs Benedict were passable, but the side potatoes were surprisingly good 🍞 French toast stuffed with strawberry yogurt — interesting but a little heavy 💢 Service was noticeably cold and unwelcoming 🇫🇷 Ma Maison Biggest disappointment of the trip 💣 The only decent dish: French Onion Soup 🧅 (sweet onions, loaded with cheese 🧀) ❌ Foie gras was served cold ❌ Frog legs were unbearably salty ❌ Beef tartare tasted like ground meat mixed with salad dressing ❌ Soufflé was overly sweet, dense, and the cream was cloying 💢 Service was so poor I didn’t even want to leave a tip Takeaway: Following Xiaohongshu recommendations can be hit or miss — some gems, some regrets. #Food #StudentEats #BostonTravel #BostonFood #Tatte #LobsterRoll #FoodExploration
