552 Tremont Street (South End)
The first official meeting of the BCC convened 5/15. Minutes were not kept as we were all still distracted by necessary reveling (ie, we had all managed to make and keep a dinner date). Woohoo! Plus, the Club’s intentions were not yet established.
This said, our public assignation at The Butcher Shop should have been a stellar first-time experience, but let us assure you this particular rocket didn’t hit “afternoon delight” expectations. It all looked great, sure, but left you feeling like something was lacking. Our waiter was laissez faire at best and bored with us at worst, despite our ordering the Grande Charcuterie ($98) and displaying an obvious willingness to ingest multiple drinks. As a group we went out on a limb and ordered a dessert that bordered on savory (oh, hell, it was basically a pot pie), and we were not thrilled. This last disappointment, however, we’d be willing to own as a matter of taste (although there were four of us and we all agreed it was…not good).
In the end, we’d go back, but mostly for the meat…does that make us shallow?
