Bachi Grill

Haven't posted in a while because I was in Connecticut for an ice hockey tournament, but here is a meal I ate while I was gone at Bachi Grill in Cromwell, Connecticut.

Started off the meal with bread, and olive oil with spices and a garlic clove. It was really good, the bread had like some cheese baked into it. Super tasty. 

Then I had some caesar salad, which was good, it had a different dressing, but it was still really good. 

I got broccoli rabe and chicken sausage with tomatoes and penne pasta. It was alright. It looked fresh, but the problem with it was that it lacked any real seasoning. It didn't even have enough salt or pepper. 

Someone I was dining with had the puttanesca, and it was a lot better than mine. It actually had flavor, and good flavor at that.

This place was alright, but certainly not one of my favorites. When the highlight of the meal is the bread, and the salad instead of the entree, you know something isn't right. 

Two - two and a half stars.

Skirt Steak and Potatoes

Meal eaten at Pasta Pomodoro in Corona, California

This meal started off with bread, and basil mixed olive oil. It was almost a pesto, but I don't think they put any garlic in it, or mixed it. Still, it was tasty.

My main dish was Skirt Steak with Green Peppercorn Sauce. It came with a side of roasted rosemary and garlic potatoes with basil in them. It was absolutely delicious. The skirt steak was tender, and well seasoned, and the potatoes had tons of flavor.

(The reason the plate looks kind of empty and the presentation looks a little lack luster is because I forgot to take a picture and ate a little first!) 

This was a great meal, and for a great price! I really recommend the restaurant.
