I am a huge mimosa fan…I find it pretty difficult to turn down a mimosa no matter what time of day. It was how I started every “morning” in New Orleans and the thought of sweet fruity bubbles always gets me excited. We sat at the bar and chatted with the bartender a bit and said they served two kinds of mimosas (an orange one and one with cranberry apple juice). Being that we felt you could get an orange mimosa anywhere we went for the latter. It was not as bubbly as I’m used to but yummy just the same.
And even after all that, I of course had to top it all off with the bread pudding. That bread pudding is seriously just the definition of “Food-gasm”. Every bite is so incredible and I wanted to savor it but then I didn’t want the salted caramel ice cream to melt!
As we were eating I noticed there was a large percentage of people that ordered the cobb salad. I wish I had known they were going to used deviled eggs because I would’ve probably got that! The special that day was beef tounge tacos which also looked heavenly…but once again – a great time at Matt’s. The food was quite reasonably priced for fine dining lunch (Average $11-$14 an entree) so I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a nicer longer lunch. Like those things all those people in the private sector get to do for free. (ok – not ranting about working in public service) I’ll need to take a break from this place for now though because there are so many other places to try!
