I'm back again with a new edition of Sips & Nibbles, my regular column where I highlight some interesting, upcoming food and drink events. I hope everyone dines out safely, tips well and are nice to their servers.
******************************************************
1) Celebrating the best tastes of the season, Coach Grill in Wayland will feature a summertime prix fixe menu from July 1 through August 1. Available nightly, diners will have their choice of a collection of appetizers, mains and desserts over three courses. For starters, there is a watermelon & feta salad with basil and honey-lime vinaigrette in addition to chilled gazpacho with crème fraîche. Entrées include a lobster roll, served hot or cold, on a brioche bun with truffle fries; marinated steak tips with whipped potatoes and green beans; and chicken Milanese topped with an arugula salad and shaved parmesan. For dessert, indulge in a key lime tart with raspberries and vanilla Chantilly cream, or an affogato with espresso and vanilla ice cream.
Cost: Three-course prix fixe: $52 per person
2) It’s the summer of seafood at Abe & Louie’s as they debut a new feature menu to be enjoyed on their scenic floral-lined patio along Boylston Street. Keeping it light and fresh, “Summer Wine & Dine” showcases treasures from the sea with their fine pairings.
From July 1 through August 1, the “Summer Wine & Dine” offerings highlight a collection of seasonal creations designed by executive chef Mark Mariano: chilled sweet corn soup with lump crab, basil oil ($16); baked scallops on the half-shell with plum, tarragon and ‘nduja ($28); burrata and Ossetra caviar with olio verde, chives and house made focaccia ($65); poached halibut with zucchini, squash blossoms and sun gold tomatoes ($52); Maine lobster ravioli with charred corn, pancetta, heirloom cherry tomatoes and arugula pistou; and a buttermilk panna cotta with strawberry, balsamic and basil ($13).
To complement the seafood delights, wine director Benny Appleby has curated a selection of summertime sips available by the glass: a 2023 Vivienne Lewis Wine and Art Collection, Sauvignon Blanc, Prague Spring Festival ($30) and NV Champagne Jeeper Brut Grand Assemblage ($19).
Reservations are recommended by calling (617) 536-6300. The menu is available both indoors and al fresco.
