\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve had Plums<\/a><\/strong> catered, but\u00a0had yet to dine\u00a0in the\u00a0Caf\u00e9 until now —\u00a0It always seems so busy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This day we\u00a0sat on the\u00a0patio with\u00a0a few Starters and Wine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We shared the Wild Herb Risotto Cakes<\/strong> with Bistro Greens and Dilled Tomato Salsa.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And the Dungeness Crab Puppies<\/strong> and Oregonzola and Roasted Muscat Grapes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Two out of three ain’t bad, as the song goes\u00a0— The taste and temperature of the Roasted Muscat Grapes just didn’t work for\u00a0us, and the Cheese with too few Hazelnuts and very little Honey wasn’t the greatest, but we\u00a0always appreciate unique food combinations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next door to Plums Caf\u00e9<\/a> is the Astoria Ballroom<\/a> to dance, a runner up to eating, for me.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Plums Caf\u00e9<\/strong> and the Astoria Ballroom<\/a> offer a generous Dinner & Dance SPECIAL each month.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We stopped in for a visit and\u00a0couldn’t resist a couple dance moves — See\u00a0me in the mirror?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Look for this coupon\u00a0(or it’s only $40 without it) and prepare\u00a0to learn the Cha Cha, Tango, Waltz, Rumba, Foxtrot\u00a0or Swing, after dinner next door at Plums Caf\u00e9<\/a>.\u00a0 Did you know\u00a0they serve dinner\u00a0now too?\u00a0 They\u00a0used to\u00a0be open for breakfast and lunch (only), but today there is much going on in its obscure corner in Costa Mesa off 17th Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
