Chicken Piccata...Restaurant Review, and Awards!

I only have this one photo of the Chicken Piccata, because I was not going to post this, because it was one of those simple dinners that I did not even feel like making a side dish with it other than the sauteed Broccoli Rabe, with browned garlic.

Yesterday, I shared a leftover feast with another friend of mine...which was Paella that my son-in-law, Chef Fabrizio made for dinner on his day off, for their dear friends, from next door...Dr. Eric, and his wife, children and in-laws. I did not join them, sometimes it's nice to be alone, and just chill, but I regret now, because I missed the lobster too, which I haven't eaten in such a long time! This was an incredible Paella, chicken and sausage was mostly missing, but there were plenty of mussels, and shrimp!

Last Saturday, early evening, my son took us to a favorite neighborhood bistro...the Rhythm Cafe  in West Palm Beach, Florida.

Such a fun and eclectic place with totally 50's and sixties style, original soda fountain booths from the 50's, when it was a drugstore with soda fountains and booths.
My son Joe and wife Cara frequent this little place, knowing that their neighbor/friend Bob, who is a waiter there will be attentive to them, as he is to other guests.
Chef/owner Ken makes sure that all the entrees come out perfect, fresh, and delicious!

We arrived there, at 6:00PM sharp, and by 7:30 the place was quite full. Reservations are suggested during the weekend

We got the booth in the back of the cafe, and you could see the cool eclectic artistic decor on the black walls. the ambiance was very laid back and relaxing. My son Joe and little  granddaughter Mattia, sharing a fun conversation.

My two (of 4) loves, my sweet and perfect little young ladies, so well behaved granddaughters...patiently waiting for their order.

What I thought was very interesting and unique was a wall of "prom couples" from the fifties and  sixties donated by friends, and customers.

Some favorite, and delicious tapas, chili crusted shrimps, with a mango chutney.

Another great tapas...homemade mushroom filled ravioli, with baby spinach and roasted red pepper strips, in a delightful cream sauce.

My choice of entree was the Florida-Indian inspired fish of the choice, which was a delicate white fish called Cordova.

The fish was an absolute perfection, served with coconut combined rice, and coconut sauce was amazing!

My son ordered the seared duck breast with garnished with a beautiful wine sauce, smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. The duck breast was so tender and very tasty...I tasted it, and loved it, as well!

I must confess that this is the best ever...I mean, ever Key Lime Pie I have ever ate...(next to mine, when it turns out like this, LOL) Seriously, this Key Lime Pie is homemade at the restaurant, and just look at the huge swirl of real whipped cream. I topped it off with a cup of American brewed coffee, which was equally awesome, considering I only drink, Italian, or Cuban coffee with milk.
