Hi, Scribblers:
If you haven't discovered Arts of Palm, Mount Dora's newest restaurant with truly international gourmet flare, you're in for a treat. Located at 2785 Old Hwy 441 (across the street from the Dairy Queen in the Golden Triangle Plaza), the menu features an enticing variety of entrees with Caribbean, French, Spanish, Italian and Asian influences. All the food, including the desserts, is made fresh from the finest ingredients.
Chef Leslie has 27 years experience in fine restaurants in New York City, and his creative cooking expertise shines with every artfully garnished plate that is presented. Appetizers from salmon cakes to jerk wings to "chili chili bam bam" (stuffed potato skins) are generously portioned and average $5.95- $6.95 in price. Entrees start at $8.95 and average $12.95. My favorite so far is the pecan crusted tournedos of salmon, served with mango citrus salsa, saffron rice, and sauteed green beans. If you're a vegetarian, there are plenty of dishes that will please your palate, and if you want a light meal, order soup, salad, a hot sandwich, or choose from numerous side dishes- don't miss the spinach souffle, a melt-in-your-mouth concoction lightly fragrant with Leslie's secret spices.
Arts of Palm has only been open a month. We discovered it last week and fell in love....so much so that we're doing a Jazz Brunch there this Sunday from 11am-1pm. Come listen to Cliff Shooker on sax, Robert Cohen on keyboards, and Ruth Blake on vocals...we'll be performing blues, jazz, and standards.
You can help the restaurant plan by making your reservation early, call 735-0686 and tell them Ruthie sent you.....
