Happy Hour and Dessert in Capitol Hill

  Happy Hour Street Tacos with Carne Asada and a Miami Vice from Poquitos.  Poquitos is located in Capitol Hill and they're serving up authentic Mexican cuisine and cocktails. Their happy hour deal is a good one- during Ocho hour, everything on the happy hour menu is just $8! I went with a Miami Vice, a classic Pina Colada with Strawberry.

Brunch at the Harvest Vine

Last week we celebrated my first Mother's Day.  My family had brunch at the Harvest Vine.  I've eaten there a number of times now but had never experienced their weekend brunch.  I've already posted about the Harvest Vine a couple of times but I can't help posting again about the brunch.  My husband and I started off with a Mimosa-orange juice and Cava Champagne.  It was the perfect cocktail-sweet, tart and bubbly. We started with the Gazpacho soup which is chilled and has tomatoes, onions, garlic, cucumbers and peppers.  We also ordered the salt cod fritters, the Croquetta de Bacalqo.  To mix in a sweet element we ate the foie gras butter French toast.  I loved this unique French toast.  I also ate the Txistorra- grilled Navarran Sausage with bread.  Finally, we shared some dessert.  We ate the Gateau Basque with wine soaked cherries-an almond tart that is to die for.
