CoraCora, West Hartford CT.

ARROZ NORTENO: Northern Peruvian-style cilantro rice. Mixed seafood, rice, green peas, red bell peppers, choclo; seasoned with a cilantro and Aji Amarillo base, topped with red onion salad.

CHAUFA Peruvian-style fried rice mixed with scallions, red bell peppers, chopped egg; all sauteed in wok with soy sauce and black tiger shrimp.

CoraCora is an authentic Peruvian restaurant. I have been wanted to try this restaurant for a few years now because my brother and sister in law rave about it. So for my Birthday dinner they took me there!!

They have happy hour, so we had to have some drinks and appetizers! For apps we got the Empanadas, Yuca Rellena, Rumba Chalaca and Tequenos which were delicious!

I ordered the ARROZ NORTENO Paella and it was delicious. This was one of the best Paellas I have ever had. The seafood was fresh, I loved the cilantro rice and the veggies added a freshness to the dish. I loved every bite!

We did get dessert, and I love churros so I was very pleased with this sweet treat. And they surprised me with a chocolate cake for my birthday!! They made me feel very special! 🥳

I would recommend @coracoract to anyone in the West Hartford area. The food was delicious, the services was great and you can tell the chefs put a lot of love into their food!!

Based on presentation and taste of all the food at @coracoract I would rate my dish and all the food I tried a 10 out of 10. 🥳

Arundel Wharf, Kennebunkport, Maine.

Stuffed Haddock with crab stuffing and lobster sauce.

Sesame Tuna Sashimi- Ahi Tuna sliced with Asian Noddles and wasabi crema.

There is nothing like Maine in the summer! I have always loved going to Maine every summer and enjoyed going to the beaches, shopping around the small towns and eating at seafood restaurants!

Kennebunkport is such a cute New England coastal town. There are so many cute shops, beaches and delicious places to eat!

@arundelwharf is one of those delicious places to eat! And it is right in the harbor so you get to eat on the water and watch all the boats go by!

Our food was delicious and I loved everything we had. I ordered the stuffed haddock and tuna sashimi. The ahi tuna was delicious and I loved the little spice the wasabi crema gave to the dish!

The stuffed haddock was delicious as well. The fish was nice and fresh and you could cut into with just a fork. It was flakey and melted in your mouth. I loved the taste of the crab stuffing and the lobster sauce on top. You could taste the lobster really well and it blended perfectly into the haddock.

I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is in the Kennebunkport area and wants delicious seafood with a view!!

Based on presentation and taste I would rate the @arundelwharf stuffed haddock a 9 out of 10.

99 Restaurant and Pub, South Easton MA.

COLOSSAL LOBSTER ROLL 🦞

The @99restaurants is a Classic New England-style pub! It is a staple in NE and I have always loved going here. They have great food, I usually get the Gold Fever boneless wings (the sauce is incredible.) For a while people have told me about the Lobster Rolls but I never believed they were could be good. I figured what does a NE chain restaurant know about a delicious lobster roll, well I was wrong! I see you now 99 Restaurant 😉

They offer two lobster rolls, the Hot Buttered Colossal Roll and the New England style Colossal Roll. I usually prefer the hot buttered rolls but I decided to try the classic lobster roll. I was surprised at how much meat was on the roll, also the meat was fresh. The bun was toasted to perfection and I loved the crunch of the bun when I took a bite. The #mayoratio was a good amount too. The mayo was not overpowering and you could still taste the lobster. I can honestly say this lobster roll was better than some seafood restaurants I have had! 🦞

This is a perfect example of don’t judge a lobster roll by where it is from 😂

Based on presentation and taste of the @99restaurants lobster roll I would rate this roll a 7.5 out of 10.

I have reviewed this restaurant a few times and I always give it a star studded review! This 4th of July weekend was no different! I loved everything about all of our dishes.

The oysters are always fresh, the seafood is always prepped or cooked perfectly and the atmosphere is friendly, nice and fun! Everyone is there for a delicious meal and to have a great time with food 😉

The Charles, Wethersfield CT.

Boston Cod: white wine-butter poached, miso-ginger dashi broth, baby bok choy, seacoast farm mushrooms, green papaya salad.

I love going to Old Wethersfield CT. It is such a cute little downtown with little shops, ice cream shops, wine shops, country stores and delicious restaurants. One of those restaurants is @thecharlesct 😉

We sat outside because it was a beautiful night and it was fun being downtown! We got some apps to share and ended with an Espresso Martini! The apps we got were the Homemade Ricotta, Scotch Egg and Deviled Eggs!

The Boston Cod was delicious, I could eat this dish all the time! Warning, it was spicier than I thought it was going to be so if you are going to get this dish I hope you like some spice! I loved how it was served with bok choy. The Cod was so delicious it just melted in my mouth, could cut it with a fork. I loved the taste of ginger in the broth, I could drink the broth it was so good. Everyone loved their dinner and we had such a great experience. I can’t wait to go back and try more dishes, their lunch menu looks delicious too!

Based on presentation and taste of the @thecharlesct Boston Cod I would rate this dish a 10 out of 10.

The Old Grist Mill Tavern, Seekonk MA.

This tavern has great history and is a relic of Pre-Revolutionary New England, which was built in 1745. The power by the dam and the old water wheel was used to grind the grain raised by nearby colonial farmers. Today, the Old Grist Mill is a traditional New England tavern. This tavern is known for great food, everything from steaks to some of the freshest seafood dishes in all of New England. They are known for their Crab Cakes and the Baked Stuffed Jumbo Shrimp. I ordered the lobster roll, Connecticut style, with butter. The entrees also come with a great salad bar that I filled up on!

The lobster roll I had was very good. I thought the amount of meat on the roll was a good amount too. The bun was cooked perfectly, giving it a great crunch. I do wish there was more butter on the lobster roll. I did hear they have a Lobster Festival in the summer so I am hoping I will be able to go to that 🦞

The more lobster the better 😉

Based on the presentation and taste of the @ogmtavern lobster roll I would rate this roll a 8 out of 10.

Mainely Seafood and Deli, Putnam CT.

Are you a fan of Hot or Cold Lobster rolls? Well, at Mainely Seafood you can get both!

I got the Hot Lobster Roll because that is my favorite 🦞

The lobster was very fresh. I don’t think they gave you enough lobster in the roll, it was small. But, the bun was toasted perfectly, with a great crunch. It was buttered perfect, the butter with the lobster meat is so delicious. I wish it had a little lemon with it, for a hint of citrus. Overall it was a good roll, but I would try the cold lobster roll next just for comparison 🦞

Based on presentation and taste of the Mainely Seafood and Deli lobster roll I would rate this roll a 7 out of 10.

The Courthouse Bar and Grille, Putnam CT.

I have reviewed @courthouse_b_g before and I gave it a good review.

I tried their lobster roll yesterday and it surprised me because it was delicious. I was expecting there to be a lot of mayo, but there wasn’t the #lobstertomayoratio was just right.

The lobster roll was made of Lobster meat lightly mixed with mayo, celery, and dill in a toasted roll atop a bed of lettuce. The dill on the lobster roll added a wonderful flavor to the roll. The dill made the roll extra fresh and the lobster was fresh lobster. The toasted roll was very crispy too which gave it a great crunch. There was a lot of meat on the roll too. Once again it was another delicious meal at The Courthouse! I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who is going into Putnam.

Based on presentation and taste of the @courthouse_b_g Lobster roll I would rate this roll a 8 out of 10.

Blount Clam Shack and Market, Warren RI.

Whole Belly Clam Roll on a grilled bun with clam fritters and clam chowder.

Shrimp Wrap- fried shrimp with lettuce, fresh salsa, Kick ‘N’Bayou sauce & Cheddar cheese

Another Sunday, Another Clam Shack! ☀️

I love whole belly clams! Maybe it’s the New Englander in me (born and raised in MA) but they are better than clam strips! Don’t knock ‘em til you try ‘em 😉

I love @blountretail 😉 They have delicious, fresh seafood, amazing soups and fresh and frozen foods. It is my favorite Clam Shack on the East Bay 💕

@blountfoodtruck @blountfinefoods

The fried shrimp wrap was delicious. The fried shrimp was fried lightly and you could still taste the shrimp. The sauce was a nice kick too but it wasn’t too spicy, just a nice kick. The wrap was crispy and had a great crunch with the freshness of the salsa. I usually get the lobster roll here, but I really wanted those whole belly clams 🦞

The whole belly clam roll was delicious! Very nicely fried, it was light and you could still taste those clams. I added a little Tatar sauce to the roll and a little lemon for freshness. The clam fritters are delicious with chunks of clams in the fritter. And when you dunk the fritters in the clam chowder that clam taste really pops out!! I really enjoyed this roll and it was a perfect way to end a Summer Weekend ☀️

Based on presentation and taste of the @blountretail whole belly clam roll, fritters and chowder and shrimp wrap I would rate this Clam Shack a 10 out of 10.

Black Dog Bar & Grill Putnam, CT.

The classic Fish and Chips! I love fish and Chips and sometimes you just have to go with what you know and love!

The fish and chips at @blackdogbargrille is made with fresh North Atlantic Haddock and is slightly battered. I really like how you can taste the Haddock through the batter and the fish just melts in your mouth. The batter is not too heavy.

The perfect bite for fish and chips is some fish with a fry or two with tartar sauce!!

Based on presentation and taste of the @blackdogbargrille fish and chips I would rate this dish a 9 out of 10.
