Lockwood

--------------------------------------------------------------
After almost a year hiatus from my blog, I have decided to restart in a little different format.  I will continue to offer multiple pictures from my meal with quick blurbs of what we loved to eat, but posts will be a shorter due to time constraints with residency.  I will still base my rating on "How far I would walk for this food".  Hope everyone still enjoys!
--------------------------------------------------------------

Location: 17 E. Monroe St (Inside Palmar House Hotel)

Our Meal:

Charcuterie and Cheese Platter

It is sad when the charcuterie and cheese plate was the best item of the night.  This dish came with two different meats (a salami and a prosciutto) and three types of cheeses.  One was a blue cheese, but unfortunately our waiter did not feel the need to explain the rest of the dish.  It had a wonderful cherry preserve spread as well as a whole grain mustard for tart.  The dish was huge and great for sharing.  Definitely worth the $22 price tag.

Roasted Flat Iron Steak and Sea Scallop Entrees

For our two entrees, we decided to get one meat dish and one seafood.  Their menu was limited and the reasonably (still high) priced entrees were the flat iron steak and the sea scallops.  Of the two, I would only ever eat the scallops again.  They were plump and perfectly cooked and a wonderful lentil side.  The steak, however, was tough and very bland.  Yes you could appreciate the beef flavor, but they only saving grace was the few drops of rich sauce.  The vegetables were awful unless you enjoy semi-raw tasting green beans.

Truffled Cream Corn side dish  and Housemade Sorbet for dessert

Finally, just a quick word about our accompaniments.  By surprise, my fiancée last minute ordered the truffled cream corn.  And I am glad she did.  The corn tasted fresh off the cob and it was topped with a dollop of truffled butter.  That butter was potent but had the perfect truffle flavor--did not overwhelm the palate.  As for dessert, a combination of blood orange, mixed berry, and cantaloupe sorbet was ordered.  Not too sweet, but just enough to quench a sweet tooth.  The blood orange was the star of this dessert with the cantaloupe sorbet failing big time.

My Rating:


After much consideration, I gave an average 3.5 mile rating to Lockwood.  We were lucky to have had a gilt city deal to help curb the cost, so my opinion may be biased.  We had a wonderful Pinot Grigio and an excellent appetizer.  I would recommend coming here for the cheese and charcuterie and a few glasses of wine.  However, I would refrain from ordering entrees unless high priced bland meals are what you enjoy.

  8. If you want to increase your Instagram followers, the worst thing is to post content randomly and haphazardly. If you are fortunate enough to gain followers on Instagram, you shouldn't make them forget that they followed you. Keep to a regular posting pattern to combat spam. In order to avoid spam, brands shouldn’t post more than once per day. But whatever your frequency, be consistent. Around 200 million Instagram users log in daily. You might want to publish several times throughout the day, as this will allow you to reach more people. https://instagramfollowersbest.medium.com/

  9. Instagram contests can help to increase your following if you ask people to follow you and leave comments on one of the photos you post by tagging a friend. Tagged friends will see your posts and may choose follow your account.
    Encourage user-generated content to be part of your contest. This can help you reach more people. People will find out about your contest through posts made by their friends. This is a great way for new followers to trust you and to get more eyes to your page.

  11. IGTV videos may be as long as an hour in length, which allows you to discuss topics in detail. You can also make an IGTV Series, which encourages viewers more to follow your account than just viewing a video.
    IGTV posts can be four times larger than photos in the Explore tab. This increases the likelihood that new followers will click on your content.

  13. LED neon signs solves the design problems associated with traditional neon lighting. Instead of using glass tubes for neon signs, they are made with LED neon flex lighting which is more cost-effective, flexible, and longer-lasting.

  16. Which colors can make a room appear bigger? You can achieve the best effect by using soft tones, such as blues and greens. However, brighter rooms seem larger and more inviting. Here's another tip: Paint your wall trim and moldings a lighter colour than your walls. The walls will appear further back and make your living room appear bigger. If you have natural lighting, this is great. Do not be discouraged if there is no natural light. Use lighting fixtures to create unique effects. It's amazing how a small improvement can make a huge difference.

  23. Fluorescent bulbs are made up of a variety of gases , including mercury. A damaged or broken bulb can increase the chance of exposure to pupils in classrooms. Fluorescent bulbs also emit ultraviolet light, particularly when they're worn out or damaged. UV light exposure can cause skin and eyes damage. However, LED lighting has been proven to lower anxiety and stress as well as improve feelings of wellbeing.https://homedesigns.tumblr.com/post/664156305232150528/how-long-do-neon-signs-last
