One of our party is vegetarian. Will she be subsisting on the contents of the bread basket, or are there some vegetarian options on the menu? I would normally check the restaurant's website, but I can't seem to find one for Fore Street. If not, is there someplace else in the area you would recommend?

Fore Street has some great cheeses to create a cheese plate with fruits;always a vegetarian pasta as well as a wood fired pizza. In addition, there is usually at least one veggie salad (again, most have soem kind of cheese)as well as side vegetables. If this is a must stop, your vegetarian friend will find something as long as they are not offended by the humongous pork loin or venison chop showing up nearby. If this doesn't work there is always Peppercorns up on Middle Street. Thu Feb 19 14:54:36 -0800 2004 859408 0 Noreaster 2 859419 Noreaster -- that all sounds wonderful. She's lacto/ovo so she'll be in chease heaven and happy with either the pizza or pasta option. Are there any dishes on the menu that are not to be missed (like the rack of lamb at Mill Tavern in Providence)?

I'm a big fan of the Scallops which are wonderful this time of year or King Salmon or Halibut. You really can't go wrong with these. Save room for dessert and if no room left take home some house made chocolates to enjoy later. Even the bread in the basket, chewy crusty country frnch, frm Standard Bakery downstairs is excellent.
