Eric and I are very close to narrowing down our rehearsal dinner spot. We are completely sold on the beautiful ocean view and the delicious food. We just have to get someone to actually call us back to discuss how they do private parties (they do not have a private room) and what the costs involved will be. Somehow I have managed to go there twice and still not remember to take a picture of the view. But basically, one entire wall of the restaurant is windows and ALL you can see is ocean from one side to the other. It's pretty amazing. The only thing better than the view is the delicious food and presentation of the food. Check out the bread:
Those cracker type things sticking up are SO crunchy and delicious. The french bread is great too. It is served with a bean paste and chili sauce that you can kind of see in my picture in the lower right hand corner. Last weekend I split the lobster with my mom, all I can say is mouth watering. 
This week I still wanted the lobster but I didn't have my mom to split with me so I went for one of the "smaller" plates, lobster and asparagus pizza...
Normally I don't eat pizza at restaurants because cheese tends to bother my stomach. However, my stomach has been hurting this week even when I eat stuff I am normally fine with so I figured, if my stomach was going to hurt anyways- might as well eat something delicious! After all that, my tummy was fine after dinner. Go figure! (I did only have 3 small pieces, so it was probably just happy I didn't stuff it full!)
Eric also went for pizza this weekend with the chicken and goat cheese...
One thing is for sure, even if we don't use this place for our rehearsal dinner- I will be back. Yum.

wow the food spread is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThe food really does look nice - hope you manage to get the place you want!
ReplyDeleteWow, that all looks so delicious, and the location sounds beautiful. I'm glad the cheese didn't hurt your stomach!
ReplyDeleteHi Kel! I just found your blog from Gina, the Candid RD. She recommended that I come and see your blog since well, it's awesome and you also recently had it re-designed. I'm looking to update my blog and make a little more snazzy like yours (it looks amazing!) I am technically retarded and just don't have a clue. I am willing to pay, but I don't have that much of a budget since I am a poor grad student. May I ask you about your recent renovation? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteThat restaurant looks yummy! I just love going to great restaurants that also have a neat ambiance. Good luck with all your wedding plans, my friend (a 1st grade teacher!) is getting married april '10. My fiancee and I have a long term engagement with going to school and saving, so it's probably be 2014 for us haha Have a great day!

I'm volunteering to be a food taste-tester for any future rehearsal dinner locations you want to check out! How can you go wrong with an ocean view?? Good luck, and don't forget my offer, OK?!
ReplyDeleteLooks good! Hope it all works out!
ReplyDeleteCool bread! Too bread to eat almost. Good that it tasted as good as it looked.
ReplyDeleteyou're making me hungry...

A kinder teacher AND a runner!! I love your beautiful blog and thanks for visiting mine! I really do love blogging about my K class because my kids are so funny but I mostly go back to running. I'll keep trying to post art and maybe you can too??!!
ReplyDeleteOur kinder classes(5 of them)are all academic(per our state)but we all integrate art and play. I have a full day kinder and we have choice time(play inside)after we finish our writing block and then again after math in the afternoon. I think that the play is healthy and keeps the kids having fun at school...some of them are only 4 years old right now!! Our principal is very supportive because the kids are doing well academically each year. I have been teaching K for 18 yrs. so I feel like I can do what I know is best for kids without worrying...I know you must feel like you need to follow all of the rules but I'm over that now!
Let's email if you want and we can exchange ideas or funny stories! Thanks for visiting my blog!

ReplyDeleteIt's going to be fun following your wedding plans, congratulations!
Hey Kelly,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment about the predictable books.
Last year a group of teachers did a walking group Fridays after school. The janitor actually knew the distance from one end of the building to the other for both levels so we could do laps inside during the cold/rainy weather. It was so fun! I highly recommend it. I loved how I would start out walking next to one person and that would shift as we went so I would end up talking to almost everyone in the group.
Thank you!!! I'm looking forward to talking with Leslie and see what my options are. I think that's awesome that she is a teacher, because I know you guys have no budget when it comes to supplies. Thanks!
