Let's see, for breakfast we walked over to the Back Bay to a place called Cafe Sauvage, where I of course had to have tuna tartare for breakfast (plus a croissant). It was served with skinny little bread chips and avocado, and was quite nice but for once I think I can say I am all set, raw tuna-wise. Jessica had avocado toast that was very very pretty but a little tough/messy to eat. We caught a bus over to Harvard Square to go to the art museum; since I had just been there a few months ago it felt oddly familiar. There was a cool yarn/craft store not too far away that Jessica wanted to go to, so we walked over and then had a total lunch crisis. It was getting late and we had very fancy reservations for 6:30! We ended up at an Irish pub (?) called the Druid where I had an actually pretty good grilled cheese and fries. The problem with trying not to overplan, I guess. Then home to rest up before O Ya, our big splurge. And a splurge it was! Once I got past the sticker shock we had a lovely evening. Pretty spot, really gracious service and lots of excellent little bites of fish. On the 20 course tasting menu, there was only one thing we didn't like (a squid). The sleeper hit for me was a fried oyster with squid ink foam that I could have eaten at least 5 of. Anyway, it lived up to its reputation (thank goodness) and we really enjoyed ourselves. But then we had to get home to watch more HGTV.
