This past Friday I attended the opening night party at the Huntington Theatre. Praise to the party planners--it was a success. The food and drinks were certainly the highlights; the dance floor was left mostly unscuffed unfortunately.There were a number of dishes readily available throughout the converted scene shop. Barbecued roast beef with mashed potatoes stood at attention and in perfect ranks--tender and slightly tangy. Well balanced salads of glazed walnuts, greens, goat cheese, and potatoes dressed with a light oil carpeted many tables around the party.
Probably most notable, was the Asian style sea bass: glazed in a light sauce, firm, juicy and all-around the most impressive dish present. In contrast, the dessert table was sub-par. Chocolate brownies with over-hardened caramel were a chore to eat and the oatmeal raisin cookies were standard. Apple turnovers were the highlight here, but even then they weren't amazing, flaky, but not as crispy as you'd expect.
One was reminded of the seasonal transition at the bar where Sam Adam's Oktoberfest was already present along with the dignified Boston Lager. Catering was provided by Max Ultimate Food.
