WHERE: San Ysidro Ranch, Montecito, CA.
Charlotte and I were lucky enough to go to an intimate wedding at San Ysidro Ranch over the weekend. The groom is the biggest foodie, so it was no surprise that every morsel of food was pure delight. We wish we could have had every bite of everything.
This is the the first wedding in years I have been to, that kids were also invited to. The special touches provided for the children were beyond thoughtful and quite enchanting.

MOTHER SAYS:
I wish I had five stomachs to eat all the delicious food. Cocktail hour started with bite sized crab cakes with a dab of slightly spicy aioli sauce, fried artichokes, fresh bruschetta with the ripest multi-colored sweetest tomatoes as well as a lobster roll to die for.
I enjoyed the Au Bon Climat Santa Barbara Sauvignon Blanc, it was light and dry, not fruity at all. I loved it.
The dinner started with a bang… a spicy ahi tuna with corn and avocado salsa and a cilantro vinaigrette. Next was a little gem lettuce with avocado, manchego cheese, watermelon radish, and whole grain mustard vinaigrette.
Honestly, I wish I had had the main entree first, by the time it came I was so full, but there was no way I could resist the parmesan crusted halibut with gnochetti, kalamata olives, oven dried tomatoes and and pesto beurre blanc. It melted in my mouth.
I could only survive one bite of the pan seared filet of beef… I was too full.
DAUGHTER SAYS:
The bite sized fried artichokes were my favorite of the night. The tuna was very good and the pizza was good, I wish I could have ate more. I loved the carrots and celery served with the ranch and peanut butter. It was fun. The dark chocolate cake was yum, much better than the milk chocolate cake. I love weddings.
OVERALL RATING: 10 on everything, it is the San Ysidro Ranch!
