Ok, so my Saturday was filled with feeling like I was a City Girl for at least a little while. I had to go into the City on a Saturday for a conference, so I packed myself up and headed in. Got there and met up with some of my colleagues, had a great time with them checking out the newest convention center. Finally it was time to head to meet my friends for dinner before the show.
Club Cafe in the city of Boston, well parking is at the Garage at 100 Clarendon St, the directions are a little bit misleading, and Club Cafe is on Columbus Ave, and if you are taking the T, the stop is right on the corner of Columbus and Clarendon. After getting there and finding my friends, we headed over to eat dinner at Club Cafe.
You get 20% discount on food and drinks when you are seeing a show there for the entire party. After looking at the drink menu I decided on the Island Girl, which was grey goose, X rated liquor, blue curaco, and a splash of cranberry with a twist of lemon 8.00 per martini for those who asked. They have a wine and beer menu, with other mixed drinks.
The menu is from Pub fare to dinner, we started with Nachos, which were great, not so loaded with stuff that they made a mess, and on a generous platter enough for 4 people to eat and not be overly stuffed at that point. We all ordered dinners off the menu, we had chicken picatta, we had skirt steak, halibut and a pizza. All generous portions, mine was great large piece of chicken with pasta and a light sauce. We all split an amazing chocolate cake for dessert. This is where it starts to get a little less posh.
We were escorted back to a back room with 2 bars, one had tables where you could socialize and then there was this long room with seats chair to chair for about 25 rows and there was a bar there also. You couldn’t move, this had to be against some fire code, all the seated rows were up against the wall, leaving only one way out to exit to the left. We were in the back and had a poor view of the stage seeing that it wasn’t that high. After being packed in like sardines, the show was about to begin. The background story was really cute, and went through these 5 girls lives, with some great music. I wish it was more a dinner theater atmosphere! The show has one 15 min intermission, and then you are escorted out through a grand foyer. It is an alternate lifestyle bar, so my suggestion would be to take the Girls out to Copley, Newbury, or if you want a sporty type venue North Station!
All in all great show, good night, and this week I am a commuter to the City and back~
