Everything is coming up Cherry.

Cherry Street Social returns on Thursday, July 9, and this year we’re turning up the flavor.

Birthday dinner at @henofthewood 🙌
I’d been hoarding an old birthday gift card for “the right time” for way too long. Turns out this yrs birthday + a friend who wanted to try the new (to us) location = the right time. Stop hoarding gift cards, people. Use them (speaking to myself).
I adored their original location — it was one of my family’s top special occasion spots growing up. I was bummed when they moved, but so excited to try the new artisanal pasta joint, @gallus_handcraftedpasta that opened there (have only heard incredible things, hope to go soon!).

We started with Parker House rolls (find yourself friends who get excited about bread + butter — happy life hack) and Barnstable oysters with beet cocktail sauce 🦪 (surprising combo, but it works).
Then our mains arrived: oxtail ragu with house-made pasta and a chilled beet salad. The salad was gorgeous and delicious but I did wish it had come with the oysters as a starter instead — rather than alongside the hot decadent ragu. Zero complaints on the dish itself, just my own ordering observation (on me!).

The oxtail ragu though? We grinned at each other from the smell alone. Light sauce, rich flavor, perfect pasta, toasted breadcrumbs. Our waitress recommended it and she did not miss. Still thinking about it & still happy I saved a roll to soak up allll the sauce.

The whole night felt special — 5pm res (iykyk), window seat overlooking Waterbury, good catch-up convo, food that clearly took time and care. Even the bathroom wallpaper made me smile 🦌🦊🐰

I don’t eat out like this often — it’s not typically in my budget to just go casually — but when I do, it matters that a place lives up to expectations. Fresh thoughtfully planned food is expensive (as it should), and this was worth it. Solo dining is my usual, but splitting with a friend makes it more doable + you get to try more!

Worth the wait. Worth the gift card. Worth celebrating properly.
Thank you @henofthewood 👏🙏
