Nick's on Broadway, second time around

We caught up recently with our friend Rosemary -- the three of us spent some quality time together at Gerrish's in Winter Harbor last summer, Rosemary coming from several years working at Oleanna in Boston and Susie coming from working at Pascal's in Paris. Anyway, between the two of them they prepared some of the finest food the folks in Winter Harbor had seen in quite some time.

Rosemary was in the neighborhood working on setting up her bike tours of farms and vineyards of southeastern Rhode Island and so she zipped over in her zipcar to say hi.

The three of us chatted for a little while and then grabbed our coats and walked the three blocks or so to Nick's on Broadway for dinner. (Susie and I had eaten brunch there a couple of Sundays ago.) The place was virtually empty when we arrived -- although by the time we left it had started to fill up nicely.

We each had a glass of prosecco and continued our Gerrish talk -- and, as we usually do, just talked about food in general: how to make it, where to get it, that sort of thing. The wine list was short but well-priced, with a good selection by the glass and half-bottles; we settled on a half bottle of King Estate Pinot Gris in fact. Very nice touch indeed.

And speaking of food, Susan had the salmon, which looked luscious and delectable (it was) while Rosemary and I each had the scrumptious roasted sea scallops on butter squash/sweet potato puree:

For dessert Susie and Rosemary split the trio special: sorbet, a bread pudding and chocolate pudding-thing quietly hiding under a massive layer of whipped cream:

The service was friendly, the food very good and the walk back to our flat bracing -- the night was crisp, clear with a nearly full (?) moon.
