On a bright and airy Sunday afternoon, I settled down for a light lunch at California Pizza Kitchen. Instead of pizza, I opted for a salad, a nice meal for the warm weather. The first course is delectable with hummus and fresh basil, diced tomatoes, with pita bread for an appetizer, magnifique! Traditionally, a Mediterranean dish. Their take on it, the pita bread lightly seasoned with fresh basil, and hummus is scrumptious.
For the main course, a grilled vegetable salad with sun dried tomatoes, avocado, roasted corn, Japanese eggplant, zucchini, lettuce and asparagus tops it off, the piece de resistance. I added mushrooms, and fresh ground pepper to enhance the flavor. And for a decadent dessert, I had the red velvet cake, delicious. Rich and creamy and oh so very good. The presentation is excellent for all courses, especially the dessert, with the vanilla bean icing drizzled on the plate.
It's a casual dining atmosphere at this restaurant. In fact, it makes you think of those nice times with good friends, over good conversation, enjoying delicious cuisine. The restaurant, is warm and inviting, and the food is delicious. Although it was a light lunch, it still serves a purpose, and I enjoyed the dining experience. The surroundings are beautiful, with artwork accenting the walls that are inviting, and colorful. So stop by and enjoy a delicious salad, or other popular items and of course don't forget to request their speciality, the gourmet pizza. Until next time, keep dining and enjoy life.
