La Crema Tapas and Chocolate...A Good Thing

On Sunday afternoon Rich and I decided to take a drive west from the condo and find a new restaurant.  We made it as far as Rosemary Beach and stopped at a restaurant I have been eyeing for awhile...


This restaurant is fashioned after the famous Tapas bars of Barcelona, Spain and is a treat on a breezy spring afternoon.


 Rich decided on a Grande Tapas (meant to be shared with friends... which today means me :) dish of En Fuego Chicken...spicy chicken bites with a cool caper cream sauce. I chose the La Crema Salad which was spinach with candied walnuts, goat cheese, tomatoes and cranberries tossed with sherry vinaigrette. We finished with the OMG Chocolate Espresso Cookie (Two warm triple chocolate cookies with a whipped espresso cream center drizzled with warm chocolate sauce...). We weren't hungry enough, but next time I want to try the Country Paella and Steak Empanadas and maybe the Chocolate Soup (a cup of thick chocolate soup garnished with toasted cinnamon croutons and a ball of vanilla ice cream)!!


This is definitely a place for a dinner party...and you know there will be one in the group who will be into the Chocolate Dipped Bacon and the Spanish Strawberries...I will stick with the Sipping Chocolate!
