Nibbles of Tidbits was invited to the Grand Opening Party<\/strong> at the New Shorebreak Hotel<\/a><\/strong> in the heart of Huntington Beach (aka Surf City).\u00a0 It was a\u00a0pretty hip and happening par-tay, but here we emphasize the fashions of the food.\u00a0 And must mention the spectacular view of the Huntington Beach Pier and Pacific Ocean — The above photo was taken from one of the hotel rooms.\u00a0 Surf City accommodations don’t get more ideally located\u00a0than this.<\/p>\n

Our invitation included an amazing Family Style Dinner at Zimzala<\/a><\/strong>, the Shorebreak Hotel’s Restaurant.\u00a0 Their unique and high quality dishes offer your taste buds a flavorful trip through the Mediterranean Sea and beyond.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"shorebreak-hotel-097\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As a starter before dinner, we shared a Zimzala Mezze Plate<\/strong>.\u00a0 Our multi-level serving plates included a Moroccan Carrot Salad, White Bean Salad, Hummus, Cheese Filled Moroccan Cigars and more.\u00a0 Each item had its own intense flavor.\u00a0 I’m craving the Carrot Salad as I write this.<\/p>\n

Prior to dinner we were greeted at the\u00a0door with a Glass of Cava and\u00a0a cute guy holding a plate of appetizers, and then several more which included “real” Crab Meat on Cucumbers (that’s refreshing all around) and Mini Salmon Cakes.\u00a0 During\u00a0dinner we were served some of the best Salmon I’ve ever had —\u00a0I believe it’s Zimzala’s\u00a0Pan Roasted Wild Salmon<\/strong>.\u00a0 And I didn’t get a piece, but my friend raved about the Moroccan Chicken Tagine<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"shorebreak-hotel-099\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For dessert we had the Warm Strawberry Galettes<\/strong> with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream, and the Chocolate Ganache<\/strong>, which is uniquely served with Grilled Sourdough Bread, Olive Oil and Sea Salt.\u00a0 The combination works and it’s fun to try.<\/p>\n

\"shorebreak-hotel-104\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Shorebreak Hotel\u00a0hosted a fabulous Grand Opening Party.\u00a0 After the appetizers and before the dinner, we enjoyed the BBQ Grilled Shrimp, Lamb and Chicken Skewers in the\u00a0courtyard.<\/p>\n

\"shorebreak-hotel-013\"<\/a>\"shorebreak-hotel-012\"<\/a>\"shorebreak-hotel-015\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And\u00a0one of the Ballrooms was\u00a0filled with Oven-Roasted Bacon Wrapped Dates<\/strong> (We LOVE ’em), Fingerling Potatoes,\u00a0Fried Artichoke Hearts and the various Mediterranean Salads we enjoyed at dinner.<\/p>\n

In addition to the after dinner desserts we shared,\u00a0Zimzala set up a dessert room that included Fresh Coffee and my favorite Cookies, Madeleines — These were Lemon and I’m kicking myself for not taking one (or 5) to go.\u00a0 I was stuffed at the time, but wish I had\u00a0them now.\u00a0 And above right are the\u00a0room goodies offered with the\u00a0view in the first photo.<\/p>\n

\"shorebreak-hotel-021\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As if the above isn’t\u00a0enough for a successful Grand Opening Party, the Shorebreak Hotel hosted a Fashion Show,\u00a0Live Band, Acoustic Performances, Simulated Surfing, Wine Tasting and Sand Castle Building.\u00a0 It was a fun time and the service was excellent.\u00a0\u00a0We like the airy and sophisticated feel of the hotel and would love to go back for more of everything.<\/p>\n

Bolded<\/strong> food items are known to be on Zimzala’s everyday menu.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
