So after a beautiful day at the beach and a walk down to the
Santa Monica Pier we had built up an appetite and decided on lunch at the M Street Kitchen.
This is a super-cute restaurant with ample indoor and
outdoor seating, and they also have a fantastic bakery as well.
There were several things on the menu that sounded great to
me and it was hard to narrow it down so I decided to get two things.
I started with the Chicken Summer Vegetable Soup (Pulled
Chicken, Sweet Corn, Heirloom Tomatoes, Squash, Toasted Barley $8).
The fresh Vegetables and the Chicken were a perfect balance
of flavor making this quite a hearty dish. It was beautiful to the eye and
pleasing to the mouth. Honestly this was one of the best Soups that I have ever
had.
Something else then really caught my eye on the menu and I
thought it would complete my meal perfectly was the Roasted Beets and Asparagus
Salad (Bibb Lettuce, Goat Cheese, Herb Vinaigrette $13).
All that I need to say about this Salad is Fresh, Fresh,
Fresh!
My friend ordered the Blue Cheese Burger (Maytag Blue
Cheese, Crispy Onions $14), and I must say that I was a bit jealous when it was
delivered to the table.
Oozing with Blue Cheese and smothered in Crispy Fried
Onions, what really seemed to make this head and shoulders above the rest was
the thick cut “Candied” Bacon.
(I did try a piece of the
Bacon and it was fantastic!)
To put in simply, I love this place! When I think back on my
trip to Santa Monica I will remember two things #1 How beautiful the Beach was
and #2 What a great meal I had at M Street Kitchen!
