Back Bay Lunch at the Met

I'm still swooning over the delectable four cheese macaroni, served up in a cast iron bowl and topped with breadcrumbs. The fact that I went to Met Back Bay on Saturday was completely by chance. The bright red patio umbrellas and bustling lunch crowd caught my eye, and it turns out the food lived up to what one would expect of a restaurant with such an appearance.
My lunch date with blogger friend Rachael was a blast! We raved about our food as we sipped on crafty libations. I had been wanting to try a Blood Orange Cosmo for the longest time, so I went for it. It was a bit tangy and the drink was well-balanced.
The convenient location between Dartmouth and Newbury Streets led us to shopping heaven after we finished our meal! {Newbury Street has all the best stores... hands down, plus tons of cute little boutiques.} In closing, Met Back Bay is a must try for lunch!
