This past weekend, myself and a group of family members went to The Mick for dinner. Handling a group of 8 lively individuals can sometimes be a hard task. However, the waitress and her trainee did a great job. Things were busy, and they kept their cool the entire time. Many of us ordered off of the Prix Fixe menu, which is an amazing deal! Soup or salad, entree, and dessert, all for $20.

I, personally, started with the Chop Chop salad. If you haven’t been to The Mick or Delaney’s Grill, this salad alone is reason enough to go. It’s always my go-to, and I’m never disappointed. The salad consists of chopped iceberg lettuce, assorted fresh vegetables, bacon, and a Gorgonzola ranch dressing with big chunks of Gorgonzola. This salad has to be one of the most popular items on the menu. 

From there, I had the Pilgrim Turkey Dinner. As a college student, something I crave often is homecooked food. When a restaurant meal can give you that feel, you know your money is well spent. The turkey was cooked perfectly, the mashed potatoes were great, and the cider gravy complimented the gigantic portion in a fantastic way.

Others at the table had salmon, Margherita pizza, Gorgonzola sirloin and Filet Mignon (which was cooked PERFECTLY!).

For dessert was the Tuxedo Mousse cake. This piece, no mountain, of cake was decadent, rich, and accompanied by a raspberry drizzle. My mother, who also had the cake said, “Delish! The portion was large, the drizzled sauces on the plate added so much to the rich chocolate mousse layers of the cake. The cake itself was very moist.”

Overall, it was great, and we even got to get a bit of the live music that was started just when we were wrapping up. The best thing about the entire experience was the atmosphere. Going to The Mick is relaxed, and everyone has a great time. As we were leaving, my aunt said how should couldn’t wait to come back and what a great time she had. When you have that experience with family, there isn’t a price you can put on it. If you haven’t been yet, don’t miss out!

I know I’ve written before about some of the monthly events that happen at the Delaney House, such as the Lift Your Spirits event and Martini, Manicure, and Massage night. However, something I seem to have overlooked thus far is the weekly special menus at The Mick. The Mick offers casual dining at the Delaney House, often with live music and a relaxed atmosphere always. 

Almost any night of the week you can find something special at The Mick, and today, I’m going to be talking about Tuesdays.

Tuesday is Burger Day— Every Tuesday, The Mick offers a sensational burger menu, and many are only $5! I think a common misconception not only at the Delaney House, but anytime people go out to eat is that you’re going to have to drop TONS of money. With this menu, you don’t have to worry about that. You can play it safe with the Classic burger (tomato, lettuce, cheese), mix it up with the Gorgonzola burger (the Cajun burger with melty gorgonzola cheese on top), or maybe, just maybe, you’re in the mood for something epic. Then, you have the Pounder. This burger is big enough for a hungry party of four or take “the Challenge”: one person only. If you can clean your plate, your meal is free. Here’s how the burger adds up:

 a whopping 2 pound burger topped with 8 slices of cheese, 8 slices of bacon, fried onions, lettuce and tomato, on focaccia bread, one pound of french fries and a side of pickles. 

 This monster comes to $25 (or free if you’re successful), and it’s well worth it.

In keeping up with the ongoing events that happen at the Delaney House, a favorite among many are the Learn to Drink Like a Pro events. Each month, the four course meal is designed to be paired with a specific type of beverage. This month, on February 21st, it’s a Sam Adams beer dinner.

The 4 course dinner and sampling of four beers is only $35. This is a great night out and an awesome way to try some new food and beverages. I’m loving the cajun inspired meal for the Sam Adams dinner, and I know guests won’t be disappointed. It’s super easy to get tickets, simply call or go online. If you haven’t experienced the Drink Like a Pro event before, or if you’re a long time fan, don’t miss this one!

Every second and fourth Monday of the month, the Delaney House hosts an event called “Lift Your Spirits” which features a manicure, a massage (both provided by Brooks & Butterfield Day Spa), and a martini…all for just $20. This event makes for a fun, and affordable, girls night out! 

This is the first in a series of posts about a fantastic wedding recently held at the Log Cabin. This couple really took advantage of the “Your Day, Your Way” motto. That’s the best thing about a wedding. When you can take a space, menu, or otherwise and completely run with it and make it your own, you know you’re in for a GREAT wedding. This couple did just that. 

This first post is starting the day before the BIG day…the rehearsal dinner. This three and a half hour rehearsal dinner took place at the Delaney House. The great thing about this company is the ability to take advantage of both sites, the Log Cabin and the Delaney House, and the new Mr. and Mrs. Plante definitely did.

For some, the rehearsal dinner can be a daunting event. The big day is approaching, this may be the first time in a long time the families have come together, and everyone is under some sort of stress. So how do you approach this day as a stress reliever? The answer is simple, make it you, and make it fun. 

The first clue that this couple knew how to make this event fun: the menu choices. This rehearsal dinner included first, a nacho station complete with all of the fixings. As everyone knows, nachos=a good time. Besides the nachos, there were hors d’oeuvres of mini philly cheesesteaks, stations featuring a finger sandwich tower, a variety of gourmet pizzas, beef sliders with all the fixings, and the signature Chop Chop salad accompanied by sirloin, chicken, and shrimp. The food was completed with a sweets table. If this menu doesn’t scream “This wedding is going to ROCK!”, then I’m not sure what does. 

The couple also had entertainment by Gary S. Jones for the rehearsal dinner, not to mention the bar was running all evening. Making this event entertaining is always a crowd pleaser, and it will give you the chance to have a relaxing time before the big day!

The rehearsal dinner does NOT have to be a stuffy sit down dinner with awkward conversation. Don’t get me wrong, this sort of dinner has it’s place, but it doesn’t have to be here. With the staff at the Log Cabin and Delaney House, if you can dream it, it can probably happen, and this couple is a prime example of taking advantage of that. 

Stay tuned…the big day is next!
