Cabot's

I know that it's been a long time since my last post. However, Cabot's marks a triumphant return. This '50's-style diner provided ample cover from the rain that prevented me from making banana-split excursions for the last few weeks.
Traditional Banana Boat: $6.59. (For $8.99, they double the portion.)


True to form, I substituted a peanut butter topping for the pineapple topping listed in their menu. I appreciate that substance was not sacrificed for style. If all of the ingredients don't fit in the dish, just pretend like they do. Thus far unique to Cabot's is the distribution of toppings over all three ice cream flavors.


The service at Cabot's was friendly and thorough. The hustle-and-bustle diner atmosphere disappeared with the welcoming patience of the wait staff. The chilled metal dish provided firm ice cream to the last bite. The abundance of whipped cream served as a pleasingly smooth and sweet contrast to the full, rich flavors of the ice cream. My only complaint is that the frozen strawberries in the strawberry ice cream conflicted with the tender strawberries in the strawberry topping. Okay, so I'm being picky. This sundae was just short of perfect. Perhaps next time, I'll attack their Jumbo Version. In the picture below, my Banana Split Apprentice is hard at work.
