Sans Souci

An old favorite of a friend of mine is Sans Souci. It has been here for years originally as a Howard Johnson's [1959] and later as the Black Dog Tavern. I hadn't really found anything reasonably enticing until today with its Lentin [sic] Lunch Special. We both enjoyed orders of Fried Cod with fries, coleslaw and tartar sauce. Beginning with good bread and butter and a tasty but different jicama on bruschetta. The lunch orders had a large piece of nicely fried cod on top of a bed of excellent fries. We enjoyed time together and I applauded her choice of restaurant.

blognote: I just think of the address as 'way down the Berlin Turnpike'

Sans Souci

Lunch with a neighbor on a Tuesday afternoon so went to Sans Souci at her request. She wanted those clam strips so I knew what I was getting into. Since we split the bill so I try to order at the same level. Ended up with the Meat Loaf over mashed potatoes and gravy with mixed vegetables. The glass of Sauvignon Blanc and the good French bread were the highlights of the meal. Meat loaf was two huge slices and pretty standard but the mashed potatoes and gravy were definitely not from scratch. Skipped dessert. May end up there again next month so will order more carefully. 

The service was great, front of the house welcome, clean and well decorated so there should be redemption on my part. Will return.
