Great food, great fun, oh yes and a wedding!

A wedding? In Florida? In October? What a great time for a road trip! The daughter of good friends is getting married and we can't miss the fun. Festivities on Saturday included a visit to a tapas bar, mi Tomatina, in Winter Park.



Mi Tomatina is located in a quaint historic district of Winter Park. The brick covered streets are lined with shops and restaurants.



For those who have heard this name, Tomatina, there is a festival in Spain, La Tomatina which is only slightly crazier than running with the bulls in Pamplona.


The elegance and gracious service we experienced at the tapas bar mi Tomatina in no way resembles the antics that are experienced during the festival in Spain! The tapas were delicious, stuffed mushrooms, croquettes, all kinds of delicious morsels. The three bartenders were gracious and attentive. They  were from Spain, Venezuela and Cuba, in the order you see them below.


Michelle and her brother Ryan enjoyed the evening.


Fran and Annabel entertain Raylen.


Jill and Michelle, friends in college, enjoyed this celebration.

Ryan and his future (tomorrow) brother-in-law, Scott. 

K Restaurant, the site of the wedding and reception has amazing food! Kevin, the chef and owner, treated us to grilled oysters and shrimp, pulled pork, roasted lamb, lobster mac and cheese (oh my!), the food was planned by Scott Copeland, the groom, and Kevin. 


Grilling oysters, so yummy!


Pulled pork, delicious!


Oysters and shrimp !


Lamb, pita, potatoes, tzatziki sauce, so scrumptious!






In back of the restaurant, near the restaurant's herb garden, the guests wait for the ceremony to start.
