    Our party kept singing the chorus from "Sweet Caroline" -- so good, so good! I was entertaining my two brothers from LA, and we had to have a RI calamari experience. OK, squid is one of my favorite things to eat. Been eating it for 50 years all around the world. The Point Judith Calamari at Plum Point Bistro set a new bar. The piquant seasoning was out of this world. Simply sensational. Instead of banana peppers, the squid was accompanied by pickled onions -- just inspired. I ordered the twin grilled pork chops (two immense babies; had to take one home) and my brothers got the white clam spaghetti, which they devoured. My wife had an amazing cacio e pepe that would turn heads in Rome. After two courses like that, we had to share a dessert, and strawberry galette did not disappoint. As the man said: So good, so good!
