Hilton Dedham Lobby Lounge

I was in a suburb of Boston for an overnight trip and stayed at the Hilton. They didn't have a full size restaurant, but a lobby bar/lounge which had a decent menu. I had the shephard's pie ($15) which was quite large and pretty good. It was served bubbling hot.

I also had a hot tea ($2.50) and they offered a dessert flight for only $4 which consisted of your choice of 3 mini desserts. I had the Key Lime Pie, Apple Crumble and Chocolate Truffles. It was a good bargain.

Phillip's Famous Seafood - Charlotte

While waiting to board my plane in the Charlotte airport I stopped for lunch at this Maryland based restaurant. I had a soda ($2.49) and a premium crab cake ($14.99) with my choice of two sides (mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables) and hush puppies.

The crab cake was a little oily, but mostly lumb crab meat. The mashed potatoes tasted mediocre and the vegetables were overcooked and bland.

So I topped it off with a slice of key lime pie ($4.29) which was pretty good.

Harbor House Milwaukee

...is located at 550 N. Harbor Drive right on the Lake.

This open, airy, bright restaurant has lovely views and excellent seafood.

We started at the bar with wine and onion rings - light and delicious!

Then when we were seated we shared 3 dozen oysters, fried calamari and crab cakes. I had the scallops with mashed potatoes for my entree. For dessert I had the key lime pie. I wish it had more meringue.

Overall a very good dinner in Milwaukee!

I noticed the crowd tended to be the older demographic and that might be based on the pricepoints

Steve's Key Lime Pies

Another famous establishment in Red Hook, Brooklyn, is Steve's Key Lime Pies (located on the waterfront at 204 Van Dyke St.).

For $4.00 I tried the 4" tart and A tried the "swingle" (4" tart covered in chocolate and on a stick) for $5.00. I was disappointed because my tart did not have much flavor. It was not tart or citrusy and I didn't taste any key lime.

The only thing that was sour was the attitude of the two teenage employees.
