Last Wednesday, we were treated to a private lunch tasting with our Bell Jar suite mates from Low Country Quisine. We munched on their delicious shrimp and grits, fried lobster mac ‘n cheese and their signature Georgia peach tea. LCQ is also expanding and opening a their Culinary Studio around Valentine’s Day. Not only will their space serve as a consultation and tasting space for clients, but they will also have their signature red velvet cakes and cupcakes, gourmet take away and Georgia peach tea.

Mi Piaci means It pleases me. I had the opportunity to have lunch with Neal Bryant, the Director of Special Events, and I was definitely pleased with the meal. We started with crispy calamari with crushed red pepper and marinara and some fresh bread with olive oil for dipping and finished with fontina cheese and king crab filled ravioli served with mushrooms, tomatoes, asparagus and a white wine truffle butter sauce — Yum! I didn’t have room for dessert, but they have some mouth-watering choices.
Recognized as “one of the nation’s best restaurants” Mi Piaci is casually elegant and a visual delight. The space is sleek and modern featuring soaring ceilings, dramatic lighting and a wall of windows overlooking a pond. It is sun filled and bright by day; candle lit and warm in the evening — the perfect place for a rehearsal dinner or reception. They even do wedding ceremonies!
Mi Piaci is located at:
14854 Montfort Dr.
Dallas, Texas, 75254

You can also find them on Facebook.
Look for exciting news from After Yes and Mi Piaci — coming soon!

If you know me at all, you know I love weddings, ice cream and cheese (we’ll come back to the cheese part later). So, when I first learned that my favorite childhood ice cream shop, Marble Slab, catered for weddings it was like a dream come true!
