    As a frequent diner at 80 Thoreau I was a little concerned about their menu changes. Last night we tried 4 “Smalls” and 1 “Medium” from their menu. Ian helped w our choices and Andrew selected a great wine to accompany pur varied menu. Yellow fin tuna crudo, Poached lobster in bisque foam, Bay scallops w green apple and Duck consommé w duck confit. Each serving was small but delicious. Then the Medium option was divided for us. Paccheri-Beef, pancetta, fennel w Parmigiano Reggiano finished our outstanding dining experience. Bravo 80 Thoreau!

    Everything we ordered was fantastic, from the appetizers to the drinks to the entrees. As a bread roll enthusiast, I have to give a shout-out to the best rolls I think I've ever had. Seriously folks, I'd come back here again just to have the bread rolls - they really were that good. Come here to have a great time, feel like a million bucks, and eat some exquisite food.
