Looking entertain clients or a small group of friends and a great steak is imperative? Luckily we have lots of choices in an around the Worcester area. First to mind, One Eleven Chop House which offers a big city steakhouse atmosphere, an extensive wine menu and outstanding meal preparation, but if you are looking for a more intimate and quiet setting to entertain a small Willy’s Steakhouse fits the bill. Not only does their sushi bar rival Worcester sushi bar, but their slow cooked steaks will certainly please, including the 10oz filet topped with melted Gorgonzola served with port and pink peppercorn sauce. Cooked to preference, the steak and atmosphere is perfect when you want to impress and have a quiet conversation.

Imperial Lamb

Once discovering Thai food in Worcester, it can be very difficult to stray from the alluring flavor of the Pad Thai. Between the noodles, chicken, and shrimp it is notably a staple of Thai. Escaping Worcester briefly tonight, a few yards into Shrewsbury, I found myself at The Thai Place (yes, the name is pretty straightforward) being tempted by something other than the pad thai—the Imperial Lamb. Besides being a great cut of lamb (with bone), the seasoning and grilling—combined with the standard “no thrills” steamed thai veggies—came together perfectly to offer a suitable alternative to the pad thai. Moral of the story: if you stray from the known enough times, at least one of those times you’ll find a suitable alternative.
