Pig Roast at Citizens Pub

April Vacation went by so fast, so it was nice to have something to look forward to the weekend after vacation.  Our friend organized a Pig Roast at Citizen's Public House in Fenway.  I'm not really a pig roast kind of person but the whole thing was actually a lot of fun, even if I didn't eat that much pig.

We had a large table in the corner of the restaurant and the waitstaff was really friendly and attentive.  The chef came out a few times to present the whole roasted pig and to explain the side dishes to us.  Before the pig was served we had appetizers that included shrimp, clams, and oysters.  I was a bit disappointed in the oysters, the didn't really have much flavor.  Everything else we had all night was delicious though.  The pig is served with tons of side dishes, my favorite being the cornbread stuffing.

Half way through dinner they took the head to prepare this charcrutiere board

 I was also a big fan of the gin, mint, and soda water drink they have there.  It was perfectly refreshing and not overly sweet.  I kind of want to go back just to get that drink again.

After dinner, we went to our friends brother's roof deck to take in the city.  Even though it was pretty foggy it was a spectacular view.
