charlie palmer



a few nights ago i spent a lovely evening at Charlie Palmer at South Coast Plaza. my girlfriends & i were having a very belated birthday dinner for E who i've been friends with since junior high!

for dinner we decided to try the small plates, essentially tapas, that Charlie Palmer had to offer. we ordered the roasted bone marrow with a raisin marmalade, roasted corn guacamole & potato chips, & bacon wrapped blue cheese stuffed dates. we also had the burrata cheese with pesto on grilled bread & the crispy wild mushroom risotto cakes. i had high expectations for the roasted bone marrow, but sadly found it underwhelming. bacon wrapped dates are always a crowd pleaser & the charlie palmer version was no exception.

overall, i had a great time at Charlie Palmer & hope to be back in the near future for some more wonderful food & their refreshing blood orange mojito!
