I thought I would do a little catch up on a couple meals that I ate out this summer but have not had a chance to write about.

Muffuletta
The first was a brunch at Muffuletta that happened, admittedly, awhile back. On a beautiful early summer day a few friends and I had plans to try out Muffuletta for brunch. I loved their dinner so much that I had had there and was anxious to go back. We sat outside on their patio, a large sitting area with wide umbrellas to minimize the heat of the sun and actually allow you to enjoy an AM cup of coffee with your meal. Something I loved was the initial treat they presented us upon sitting. It was as if they knew that if they didn’t give me food I would get grumpy. This beautiful blueberry treat just appeared before us. Crumbly and warm, it hit the spot.

I ordered the omelette with mushrooms, bacon and herbs and a side of potatoes. I did like my breakfast, but I do recall thinking that the eggs were on the verge of being a little too dry. My friends really liked their meals, including this order of breakfast pizza. All in all, I would definitely give them another go for brunch.

Sunsets - Woodbury
I also recently had lunch with a friend at Sunsets in Woodbury. Now, I don’t make it over to Woodbury very often and when I do, it usually is not in search of fine cuisine. But I was surprised by the menu variety for both food and drink (I was told they have 26 beers on tap) and I thought I would share in case anyone is out that way.

As with their Wayzata location, Sunsets patio is great. Although it doesn’t provide the same great sunset view as their other location, it was a great oasis for a weekday lunch on a hot, sunny day. We sat back with glasses of ice cold iced tea and relaxed. For lunch, I had a flatbread pizza with pesto, chicken, veggies and chevre. It had a crispy cracker-like crust and a lot of flavor - I really enjoyed it. My friend ordered their salmon special, which was very good except for the suspicious looking pastry it was served on. We both tried it and couldn’t figure out what it was, so we asked the waitress. She explained that it was mashed potatoes wrapped in a pastry. Hmmm…I’m still not convinced on that one. Nevertheless, we did enjoy ourselves with a good meal on a fine day.
