Chicken Florentine from Wexford House on Shrewsbury Street in Worcester, MA

This month’s rendition of Worcester Foodies brought us all the way up Shrewsbury Street to the Wexford House. This small venue has a unique charm about it once you walk in. The décor and ambiance is a throwback to earlier times with the colors of the rugs and booths in the establishment. When it came to ordering, I really had to read of over the menu carefully because there were so many different cuisines to choose from. There were seafood dishes, middle eastern dishes, American classics, and everything in between to have for dinner. I finally settled on the chicken Florentine.

For $14.95, I received chicken stuffed with spinach, roasted red peppers and mushrooms and topped with a spinach cream sauce. I chose butternut squash and mashed potatoes for my sides and was given a small portion of cranberry sauce. The chicken was cooked perfectly, tender and juicy and the filling was a great compliment to the protein. There was something comforting and earthy about my meal as I continued to consume bite after delicious bite. My sides were a nice touch too, with the butternut squash complimenting the salt in the chicken with a little sweetness of its own. I could also tell that my mashed potatoes were made in house due to their consistency…still having the skins on when they were mashed and made with milk and butter. As this was my first time at the Wexford House, I know for sure that it won’t be my last. The diverse menu and comfort food that they offer is sure to bring me back time and time again.
