That said, on a recent visit we had a divine meal at Elephant Walk - www.elephantwalk.com - and the details must be shared!
Offering French-Cambodian in an upscale casual setting, the food was just fantastic. To be clear, it is not fusion; one can order French...or Cambodian. Like so many restaurants trying to encourage dining these days, a wonderful prix fixe menu (offering three or four courses) was available. I chose French fare which included duck ravioli with caramelised peaches, Steak Grillé et Gratin Dauphinois (the meat was beyond tender and the gratin was PERFECTION!) and apple crepe with vanilla ice cream and creme anglaise for dessert. My companions selected some of the Cambodian dishes and, as we are all good sharers, I can confidently say that there was not a single disappointing dish among the 9 or so on the table. Being delicate flowers all, we of course opted for the 3 course dinner rather than 4.
Although our post dinner activity was not dining related, it was nonetheless a creative feast, so I must also offer that a trip to the theatre to see "Valet of the Dolls" by the outrageously fabulous Ryan Landry and his Gold Dust Orphans - http://golddustorphans.com/ - could not have been a more perfect way to round out what began as our very civilised evening.
Done in high drag - and with no regard for boundaries whatsoever - this parody of "Valley of the Dolls" is not to be believed. That it is being staged in the basement of MACHINE, a gay, leather bar near Fenway, only added to the insanity. "All About Christmas Eve" and "Phantom of the Oprah" are up next....and I have to say that I'm considering becoming a season ticket holder for the pun focused titles alone!
C'mon...you know that you want to become a season ticket holder with titles like that, too!
Until next time....
Kisses,
