Sweetie Pie

John and I were invited to a tasting the other night at our friends' new restaurant, Sweetie Pie. The decor was a little Marie Antionette-ish, a little fairytale-ish, a little Candyland-ish...totally our style! The food was delicious, too, and the fun part was getting to write our comments and critique for the owners.





Luke, one of the owners, welcomed everyone to the dinner.








Julie, the other owner, waves at us from the other end of the booth.


I loved the mural that wrapped around the dining room. Notice the Star Wars Storm Troopers...very unexpected, but a fun addition to the mural.






This salad was delicious...halved grape tomatoes and bocconcini served in a lettuce boat.
The meatballs were arranged around the plate like the face of a clock.

They were tasty, too!
Mmm...corn!

We ordered the Raspberry and Rose Petal Foole for dessert, not having any idea what a "foole" was. We found out that it is a classic 17th century dessert consisting of berries and decadent whipped cream. Ours had edible rose petals as well, which was a real treat.













We had a lot of fun filling out a comment sheet for the owners, and as you can see in these pictures, we took our task very seriously!

























































We added the final touch to our comment sheet by filling up every empty space with candy doodles and bits of flair.
