| - My mouth was definitely amused. And in a good way.
Before my visit I pictured a French style pretentious little place. Don't get me wrong, I didn't go in with bad thoughts, that's just what came to mind with the name. But when we walked in, the place and especially the people were anything BUT pretentious and the food was anything but just French.
Sure, there were the French staples like quiche and croissants...but then there was freshly made hummus, fritattas, paninis, and the biggest shocker, burnt ends sandwiches. Not to mention a good selection of tempting desserts (oh yeah).
The owners were extremely nice and had the cutest little daughter with them that just made you laugh as she gave her 'dadda' raspberries on his neck as he held her, and pointed at the desserts murmuring gleefully 'chocolate'. A girl after my own heart.
Definitely a family friendly place. It seemed everyone that worked there had such a good relationship with each other. They gave samples as freely as their smiles and recommendations.
The hummus was so obviously deliciously fresh, and had the wonderful aroma of garlic. It's the first time I ever ate hummus by the spoonful. I could never do that with the store bought stuff. Yuck. But this stuff...this was the shiznits!
The lamb panini was oozing caramelized onions and aioli mayo with tender shavings of perfectly cooked lamb on a chewy crusty baguette. I know, baguette and panini...doesn't seem right...but it was delish. It came with a side of fresh greens drizzled with balsamic, sprinkled with candied pecans. Yummers.
The artichoke fritatta was pretty tasty, although I wish it would have been a larger portion for the price. Fritatta eater wasn't as pleased as I was with my panini.
We tried the creamed green chili soup while there also...that had a mild little bite to it and was yummy as well, but I decided to forgo the soup for tonight.
The piece de resistance had to be the chocolate torte. Smooth dark Belgian chocolate in a flaky crust. It just slid right down my throat and gave my tummy a big hug.
Amuse Bouche is actually a take-out / catering restaurant. Just keep in mind if you take out, it's not a fast food restaurant so you'll be waiting a little for your food. I didn't mind at all since the people there just chatted with us while the food was being prepared. The menu changes daily, so you're bound to find something tasty every day.
Synopsis: A second, third, fourth....maybe more...visit is definitely in my future. For about a dollar more than McDonald's (remember, the people who didn't know who People Day was even though they made the sign) you can get fresh food that is a whole heck of a lot healthier and tastier. They even have imported drinks if you're in the mood to try.
Amuse my Bouche anytime!
