Big Adventures with Little Foods

Wandering down Main St, Santa Monica yesterday, we came across a really cute looking store called Omelette Parlor.

Going inside, was a trip down retro lane. There were old-school style benches, beautiful woodwork, grandfather clocks, etc. Lots of great photos of the beaches in the time of our grandparents and great grandparents. It looked just like I’d expect a old soda fountain.

We were excited to eat…except that after 10 minutes we still couldn’t get someone to take our order.

Its been the first time I’ve left a restaurant in a long time, but starving and needing to run and getting zero attention from wait staff doesn’t inspire me to patronize a place.

How’s the food? Jury out. Decor: awesome place with great feel of being in other time. Service: bad enough that we didn’t stick around to try the food.

Hopefully an isolated experience, but I don’t understand why someone would have potential customers come in and then not even attempt to get their business.

Readers, it was life-changing! Let me just throw a few tidbits your way to get
you in the mood: Dates stuffed with Spanish Manchego and wrapped in bacon,
Lobster bisque soup shots served with crème sherry and a miniature Maine lobster
roll, Mac n’ cheese in a crisp parmesan cup with buttered panko and chives!
Sweet Rapture!!
Bites concept is just that, cuisine served in bite size
miniatures… each one an exquisite work of art both visually and flavorfully (did
I just make up a word?).

At my Mary Poppins party this weekend, the hostess hired Bite Catering. All of the food was “bite-sized”… Mary Poppins would surely approve of such a tiny
presentation!

Its been a busy beginning of the year…trying to get back in the blogging habit!
