Homemade Meatloaf

Meatloaf is an American comfort food classic and 86 Winter puts an interesting twist on their version by combining veal and beef, then topping it with a interesting port wine sauce. The meatloaf was very fresh, the veal brought a unique flavor to the dish and the port wine sauce was sweet and complimented the seasoning very well. The side of garlic green beens and rice were great additions. The brown rice had a strong saffron taste and green beans were cooked to perfection with just the right amount of garlic and served al dente. The dish satisfied my big appetite as it was served with generous portions, two large pieces of meatloaf and plenty of rice and green beans.

Ecstasy

The Ecstasy Martini at 86 Winter

Nestled amongst the sports bars and active night life of the Canal District, sitting below ground level in the cool stone and brick basement of the same building as Dzian Gallery, you will find 86 Winter. Apart from an impressive menu of robust flavors—which is currently under the review of WorcesterFoodies—you’ll find a small brick bar with a modest selection of fine liquors, wines, and beers. The Ecstasy Martini on the cocktail list could quite possibly overpower your taste buds. Not for those looking for a subtle, dry flavor, this martini is sweet, potent, and full. Made with Three Olives Grape Vodka, Blue Curacao, Grenadine and a splash of club soda, the Ecstasy is as vibrant in color as it is in taste. When you are looking to escape the hustle of the city above, the small, quiet, bar in 86 Winter will make your sweet tooth alive again.
