The Red House

June is  a special kind of "fun" for elementary teachers.  There are report cards to complete, end of year tests to score, bubbles to color in, children to keep in control, you get the picture!  With less than ten days to go I was in need of a night in Harvard Square.

We tried to go to Daedalus but it was a long wait to get on the roof deck, and the June tiredness was sitting in, so we made a bee line for The Red House.  I love this place!!!  The patio is beautiful.  If you don't believe me, click on the link for a beautiful pic of the patio.  The white lights and red siding on the building are the perfect setting for a dinner outside.

I love the patio so much that I often forget how good the food is.  The restaurant does a lot of "farm to table" dishes.  We decided to get the scallop appetizer.  I'm not a scallop fan but I would order these again.  They were thin, seared perfectly, and on a delicious bed of fresh veggie cream sauce.  Also, the bread is pretty epic...we may have asked for seconds.  I got the tomato and artichoke pasta dish.  Most of the pastas are made in house and you can really taste the difference.  

We had a great night and all I could think about was summer vacation!
