Babette’s from New York opens in Crystal Cove.

I was meeting my girlfriend for lunch.  Oops, she forgot so I decided to explore this new busy spot on my own. I was greeted with a delicious raspberry blini and some fried tofu. I love traditional Panzanella salad so I ordered the Farmer’s Market Panzanella market vegetable / heirloom melon /burrata /  grilled country bread / la bogedo sherry - shallot vinaigrette on their suggestion.

I get that it is a huge success in the Hampton’s and that it is “Locally Sourced, Globally Influenced, Farm-to-Table” concept but I need great tasty food to keep me coming back.

The staff is really friendly and on top of their jobs which lured me back for a second visit. I like the look and feel of the restaurant.  It is very open and airy.  I like the lay out with the patio and the dining tables surrounding a great bar.  I also love the fact that they serve breakfast until 3:30. One of my  BFF’s decided to give it a whirl for brunch.

I ordered a jalapeño margarita which I had to return because I couldn’t taste the jalapeño, the wine pours are decent and when my margarita returned it was really tasty.

We decided to split a few things to get a feel for the flavors.  We ordered the Avocado Tangerine Salad/ radish / arugula / feta /mint / citrus dressing along with the Organic Grass-Fed Burger with the works including turkey bacon.

Well the fries were delicious.

In all fairness, It is a beautiful restaurant, great people watching, friendly staff, with an extensive menu.  It is open Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, 7 Days a Week.  

Unfortunately my palette never lies.
