A Fine Dining establishment in East Boca Raton that won't break the bank
Hello fellow foodies,
My husband and I recently went to a wonderful intimate restaurant in East Boca Raton called Six Tables (www.SixTablesBocaRaton.com ).
This place is outstanding. For around $100, you get a lovely 4 course meal, with a glass of champagne to begin with. The night we were there, I ordered the Lobster Bisque to start and let me tell you, this was the best Lobster Bisque that I have ever had in my life. Yumm, warms my tummy just thinking/writing about it..oh, sorry, got a bit side tracked. A basket of warm homemade bread was brought to the table that melted the butter on contact. It had a hint of fresh rosemary that was so delicious. We both delighted in the salad that was tossed with this fantastic again, homemade, dressing. I had the lamb chops, my husband had the steak- both cooked to absolute perfection. There was also a lemon sorbet brought out to "cleanse our palates"- which you know you're at a fine dining establishment when you see that. To round off this great evening, we ended with a decadent slice of chocolate tort (which I enjoyed with my superb glass of red wine) and key lime pie. The owner Jon, is very nice and personal and he cooks for everyone at the same time, it's like you're guests at his home. The ambience is very nice and romantic and you can actually have a pleasant conversation with your dinner guest without having to shout. We had a very enjoyable evening. So, if you are looking for a unique romantic dining experience then I would suggest you pick up the phone and make your next dinner reservation at Six Tables of Boca Raton.
Six Tables is located at 112 NE 2nd St, Boca Raton, FL 33432

A Taste of the Mediterranean right here in Boca Raton
Hello Fellow Foodies,
I know it's been a while since my last food blog, and for that I am sorry. It's not that I haven't been out discovering new Food Finds in Boca, it's just that I've been so darn busy that I haven't been able to sit down and write about them. So here goes...
A few weeks back, my husband and I decided to try Rauf's Anatolia Mediterranean Nights, a new restaurant that opened up at Royal Palm Place. As we entered the cozy, softly lit room, we discovered there was a birthday party celebration in progress. The music was cheerful and there was a belly dancer dancing ever so gracefully around the room. Hands were clapping, people were smiling and cheering. You couldn't help but join in on the fun. It certainly was entertaining as we waited to place our order and kept us preoccupied while we waited for our food to arrive. (And that's a good thing. Trust me it made the wait seem almost non-existent.)
I had the Mousaka, which consisted of layers of fried zucchini and potatoes topped with sauteed onions, garlic, tomatoes and peppers. It was delicious! My husband had the Chicken Kebab which he thoroughly enjoyed as well.
Next time you're looking for somewhere to go that is both tasty and entertaining, head on over to Rauf's Anatolia Mediterranean Nights and let me know what you think!
They are located at 507 SE Mizner Blvd. at Royal Palm Place in Boca Raton

Not your run of the mill Vietnamese cuisine
Well, for those of you who are friends of mine on Facebook, you must know by now that the Blu Bambu is one of my favorite Vietnamese food finds in Boca. Tucked away in Royal Palm Place, this little restaurant may be little in size, but not in flavor! The Owner/Chef Tien Tran sure knows how to please my palate! I am convinced they add a pinch of love into every dish.
Today I tried one of their daily specials: Grilled Chicken breast with a creamy pesto sauce. I didn't have the time to eat it there, so I asked them if they could prepare it to go for me. When I arrived to pick it up, I was greeted with a warm welcome (as usual) and my food was ready for me. (Which is always a plus in my book).
I placed my nicely packaged lunch on the seat next to me and as I made my way back to the office the wonderful aroma that escaped from the bag made my stomach growl and my foot heavier on the pedal. So finally, (what seemed like forever, but in fact was just a quick 2 minute drive) I made it back to my office and opened my bag to reveal my nicely compartmentalized meal. The chicken breast, still nice and warm, was pounded thin, the way I like it and cooked to perfection. The creamy pesto was fantastic. This combination is what intrigued me to call in my order today. I am familiar with the traditional basil pesto, but had never even heard of the creamy kind. I was given a side of rice and steamed veggies as well, which complimented the chicken very nicely.
So, if you still haven't tried Blu Bambu, I hope you now are inspired to do so. As I mentioned, they're tucked inside Royal Palm Place and may be a little hard to find at first, but persevere until you do. It is one of those treasures you'll be glad you discovered.
Blu Bambu is located at: 45B Royal Palm Place 561-393-0096

It's quick, affordable and very tasty!!!
Can you guess what "it" is? I'll save you the trouble. It was my lunch today. You've probably heard of the chain called Tropical Smoothie, right? But have you tried their Cranberry Walnut Chicken Salad? I especially like this sandwich version of this salad served on their incredibly soft thick sliced, nine grain wheat bread. I get mine at the location at Royal Palm Place, across from Chops Lobster Bar. These guys know how to do it right. They are consistent every time. They've got a great menu selection, way more than just smoothies. So if you haven't been to a Tropical Smoothie yet, I highly recommend you head over there and give it a try. You will soon become a fan, just like me!

Valentine's Day is for Lovers...
And I'm a lover. A lover of FOOD that is!!! Valentine's Day is a day dedicated to those people (and in my case, the food) we love most. With so many restaurants to choose from, where will my Honey and I go to proclaim once again our undying love for one another?
Well this year, we're planning to go to what might be the best place in town- Casa D' Righetti. (Our own humble abode). To me, there's something very romantic about preparing and cooking a delicious dinner together and taking our time enjoying each course, set amidst candles and soft music. No crowds, no waiting in lines, no outrageous bill.
But for those of you who are brave enough to head out there on this Day of Lovers, here's one restaurant that I would recommend that has designed a special menu with Cupid in mind:
Anna Vincenzo's, located in the Fifth Avenue Shops in Boca Raton is offering a 4 Course menu for $100 per couple and includes a bottle of wine (red or white), a Lover's Combo Appetizer (rollatini, stuffed mushrooms, clams, & calamari), Caprise Salad (with garlic rolls), Pasta Valentino (with Arugula, Shrimp and Tomatoes), Entree (choice of Snapper Anna, Carne Scarpariello or Chicken Marsala) and a special Kiss Me Sweet Dessert!
Tax & gratuity extra.
To make your reservation, call: 561-362-8990

Great Sub, Great Deal
It was getting late in the day and I still hadn't had a chance to have lunch. With so many places to choose from and so few dollars in my pocket, it hit me- the perfect place was just around the corner.
I had heard of 620-SUBS from my husband actually. He raved about their subs, especially the Italian Mini Sub Combo for $5, which includes chips and a soda. That sounded perfect. And it was. Just the right amount of mayo, meat, cheese, sweet peppers, lettuce, tomato, onion, oil & vinegar.
620-SUBS definitely delivered in the satisfaction department. The guys behind the counter were friendly, they made my sub in a split second and the price was just right. I think I might have found my new favorite sub shop. Give it a try next time you're in the area.
They're located on Federal Hwy, just north of NE 2nd St., across from Bank Atlantic in the same shopping plaza as the Vetinarian. 805 N. Federal Hwy. 561-620-7827.
