Twisted Citrus -- Canton, OH

By -

I was vaguely aware of the Twisted Citrus before I received a recommendation from a good friend who lives in the Cleveland area. She was in Canton visiting a friend and only had good things to say about their brunch at the Twisted Citrus. Dave and I love a good brunch, so after a slight sleep-in one Sunday morning we decided to try a brunch restaurant that was close by to our house and I remembered my friend's recommendation of the Twisted Citrus.

Although we were told that there was a twenty minute wait for a table, we probably only waited about ten minutes before being seated.

The decor is "citrus" themed, everything is bright orange, yellow, and green. Dave decided to stick with regular coffee, but after getting a glimpse of the specials, I was a bit more adventurous.




I ordered a Tequila Sunrise Mimosa -- a traditional mimosa with blood orange sorbet in the bottom of the glass. It was fun to see the blood orange sorbet float to the top of the drink as it melted.






For my meal I decided to order the Chef Special which was a veggie frittata topped with Florentine Sauce. This fittata came with my choice of toast and twisted potatoes which were home fries made of a colorful variety of fingerling potatoes. 





Dave ordered the Morning Tacos vegetarian style complete with a load of vegetables, scrambled eggs, cheese, and pico de gallo.




In order to satisfy our sweet tooth we ordered one cinnamon roll pancake to split. 




We thought all of the food was really good, Dave had suggested that I order the frittata, but I wish I had ordered the eggs benny florentine style, the frittata portion was just a little bit too big for me. Dave really enjoyed his tacos and finished all of those as well as most of my frittata. The cinnamon roll pancake was outstanding, especially with the cream cheese glaze and I would have been more than happy eating a stack of those for brunch.

I was glad to see a wide range of both savoy and sweet vegetarian options available for brunch, this is certainly a location that we'll be visiting again so that we can try more of the items. Everything we ate we liked and the sign of a good restaurant is if it's busy -- the entire time we were at Twisted Citrus it was packed and on a wait for tables.

My rating for the Twisted Citrus:

Today's Bride Wedding Show -- Cleveland, OH

By -

Right after engagement season (the period from Thanksgiving to New Year's) it's bridal show season. During the last nine months of my engagement I have not attended a single bridal show. Now suggestions for bridal show events are showing up all over my Facebook page. As a 2017 bride with most of her vendors already chosen, I wasn't inclined to check out any bridal shows during the next few months, but I was offered the opportunity to be the featured bride at my photographer's booth at the Today's Bride Bridal Show in Cleveland, which gave me the opportunity to interact with other Northeast Ohio couples, as well as explore the displays at the IX Center. This is a two day event, I was present just for the second day of the bridal show. The super cute stemless wine glass above was available for purchase with champagne, wine, or a cocktail. As you already know I'm obsessed with all things Ohio, so I needed one of the glasses. Once I was done at my photograph

Velvet Tango Room -- Cleveland, OH

V elvet Tango Room is in a nondescript hole-in-the wall located on the fringes of the Ohio City and Tremont neighborhoods of Cleveland. From the outside the facade of the Velvet Tango Room blends right into the dilapidated buildings that surround the venue. On Friday night, the street was quiet, the glow of downtown was behind us, but Columbus street was dark. Had we not been to the Velvet Tango Room before, the glow of the neon sign would have been the only thing to lead us to our destination. The Velvet Tango Room is not like other bars, there are numerous articles touting how exclusive and elusive entrance to the Velvet Tango Room can be. You see, there is no need to make reservations to sit in the front room; although the venue is a secret in and of itself, the secret backroom, which is accessible by key card entrance only, requires reservations in advance...sometimes weeks in advance. Some people have written that the backroom is for the socially elite -- despite the fact th

Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- Cleveland, OH

Happy Mardi Gras! I wanted to get this post in before the end of February and it's fitting, because Coquette Patisserie has King Cake today.  On February 19th Dave and I attended Afternoon Tea at Coquette Patisserie -- this event required registration in advance and it sold out so if you see an Afternoon Tea pop up on Coquette Patisserie's Facebook page make sure to register yourself! Afternoon Tea is an event hosted semi-frequently at Coquette Patisserie -- a quick glance at their past Facebook events showed a December, January, and February tea. However, this is not a monthly event (yet), so if you'd like to attend one keep an eye out and then make sure to book a table. Afternoon Tea for February consisted of a prix fixe menu which included "a tea sandwich, quiche, French macaron, opera cake, cheesecake and fresh baked brioche with jam & compound butter, and a pot of tea or a french press of coffee." When we arrived we discovered tha
