Sol | Wellfleet MA

Small, casual and where local chefs eat - some of my favorite restaurant criteria. Martha and I feasted on Tuna Poke, cubes of sashimi with arugula. Next up green papaya salad with shrimp, and then finally sea bass - salt and pepper style with ginger infused sticky rice. A thoughtful menu, well executed with a small drink menu but all very interesting - we opted for St. Germaine margaritas.

Friendly and attentive sevice in this informal restaurant - it lived up to it's reputation as a casual but creative food destination.

Tina's Jamaican Caribbean Restaurant

Eric and I visited Tina's today for lunch and it was as close to the home cooking of my imaginary Jamaican mother as I have ever come. We started with a meat patty- moist and spicy filling on the inside, flaky and slightly salty crust on the outside. From there we both ordered the Jerk Chicken, a plate of leg and thigh meat alongside rice and beans, fried plantains and a side of warm cabbage. Washed it down with the tangy-sweet house ginger beer.

Iggy's | Warwick Neck

( photo caption - took this photo midway through the meal - this is a half eaten lobster roll with a friend dipping a clamcake into chowder)

Writing about Iggy's is strange for me - I feel as if I'm talking about a friend. I am here all year - ordering the same thing: lobster roll with white chowder and a half dozen clamcakes.

Instructions: Dip the clamcakes in the chowder as I do. Ignore the fries as best u can, eat the lobster roll and a few dipped clamcakes, then take the remaining chowder and clamcakes home for a second meal tomorrow.

Located on Warwick Neck and South County, lines are long year round and the "Best of" magazine covers decorate a no-nonsense interior.

In bad weather you will find me usually parked in the lot facing Narragansett bay - eating in the car and looking out at the water. Occassionally feeding hungry gulls with fries.

IMHO the best clamcakes in RI + best deal on lobster rolls in the state. I am addicted to this place plain and simple.
