Scarlet Oak Tavern
A coworker and I came to the Scarlet Oak Tavern for a South Shore Guidance Association meeting on April 25th. https://www.scarletoaktavern.com We were told to go upstairs for the event. I didn’t realize they even had an upstairs. I had eaten here once before, many many moons ago but sat at the bar. Apparently this place is known for being a swingers bar. Can I say that on here? I mean, I guess so right? It’s my blog. We joked that we would stay upstairs and not put our keys on the bar. Anyway, getting back to the food. We had a choice of a few different options for each course. I started with the Scarlett salad which was mixed greens, dried cranberries and fried onions with a cranberry dressing. It was very good. Then we moved on to the main course. I had filet mignon with mashed potatoes and green beans. A couple others at my table had the salmon. Everything was delicious. For dessert I had the chocolate cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I was absolutely stuffed when I left. Based on this meal, I’d definitely return. My husband decided to stop by after work. Unfortunately he couldn’t join us as the room we were in was way too tight. He sat at the bar. No, he didn’t leave his keys either. He had a maker’s mark manhattan. Surprise, surprise. And he got the mussels app. He wasn’t crazy about them. My coworker and I had a couple. We thought they were pretty good. They were in a spicy broth with jalapenos. I’m not sure I could get him to come back with me so it might be a place I come with friends or coworkers in the future. I think it’s pretty pricey as well. Thankfully I wasn’t paying.
