    Last night’s dinner from The Red House in Harvard Square. The Red House is the most romantic option on the strip of bars running down Winthrop Street. OM? Too trendy for my taste. Upstairs on the Square? Only when I’m in the mood for leopard print decor. And whereas I’d never take a parent to either of the preceding, The Red House is perfect for semi-proper folks and semi-proper occasions.

    On the photos: I managed to scarf down an appetizer (mushroom phyllo), baked stuffed lobster, and key lime pie. Then I went home and made myself a banana mousse dessert and a bowl of cereal. (Through no fault of The Red House’s — their portions are huge!) In my hurried/hungry state, I neglected to take photos of the main courses until I destroyed my lobster.
