Food Establishment # 20 Aquitaine

         Boston's south end is an ever blossoming part of town with beautiful apartment buildings with spiral staircases and tons of new city life and restaurants. Aquitaine, not necessarily a newbie lies on the corner of Tremont Street with giant class windows and a small town frenchy feel. The restaurant's decor is dark but its well lit because of the large windows. We were sat at a two top at the end of a booth (the restaurant probably sat no more than 70.) As much as I hate extended booths with multiple tables the service and food well made up for it. Our server was very nice with much knowledge about the food. She served me a glass of  Rose which was alright, a little strong for my liking. We ordered a bottle of still water, which was topped off literally every time we took a sip, which at first I thought was a little annoying until I found out the bottle of water was $6.95 and I wanted every last drop. I ordered the roasted chicken breast with pommes puree and an au jus made of leeks, bacon and mushrooms. The chicken was cooked absolutely perfect. Nice and crisp on the outside and perfectly juicy on the inside. The potatoes were smooth and creamy with a nice buttery flavor and the sauce perfectly complimented the whole thing. My partner in crime ordered the Lemon Sole Meuniére with slivered snap peas, tomato concassé, buerre blanc & pommes purée. He described the fish as being one of the best he has had in a long time. Again the potatoes were creamy and buttery. I tried the potatoes with the sauce and the snap peas and they were amazing. the snap peas lent the perfect crunch and buerre blanc offered the most perfect creamy mouth feel to the potatoes. We decided against dessert and headed to modern pastry for tea and pastries. which, for any occasion deserves a blog of it's own! I will add pictures of aquitaine in the coming days.
