Congratulations to J and D for tying the knot last weekend in beautiful, sunny San Diego!! It was really nice escaping from renovation misery and lounging around for a few days.
The wedding was at the Marine Room on the gorgeous shores of La Jolla. The restaurant is right up against the beach, with floor-to-ceiling,wall-to-wall windows that make you feel like you can reach out and touch the waves. The weather, of course cooperated. And the food was delicious! I think the crowd favorite was the smoked salmon appetizer: rolls of smoked salmon served atop lightly batter-fried avocados and what may have been an English muffin.
And for the main course, lobster! My friends are the BEST. How many people serve lobster entrees at their weddings? The lobster was tender and the sauce was lemony. I have nothing more to add.
Dessert was a trio: creme brulee, hibiscus lemon tart, and a port sorbet. The creme brulee was more like a hardened mousse, so it was the loser of the entire meal. It also didn't go with the other desserts, with were tart and refreshing. But two out of three ain't bad, and the presentation was delightful. I forgot to take pictures of the cake and boxed desserts, but it was very obvious that the couple of the day has bit sweet teeth! Thanks for throwing a lovely party, and best wishes on your new life together!

I like how the sauce on the lobster plate is shaped in a triangle. I wonder how they got it to stay that way? Was it really thick? G
I wondered the same thing! But I was too hungry to examine it. I think it was thick enough to stay like that with the lobster acting as a dam for most of the sauce. The servers probably held it ever so slightly tilted to not ruin the triangle, but after we started eating the sauce became a puddle.
