Me and my hubs stayed at this charming hotel with a room overlooking the ocean. My favorite view!

The Third Street Promenade was busy and happening. Lots of street performers and great shops. Not that I like to shop or anything 😉

The first night in town we ate at The Misfit, just around the corner from Third Street. Don’t you just love the name? It did not disappoint!

This is the restaurant from the inside. We sat upstairs and this was the view from our table. I felt like I was in NYC. A very happening and busy restaurant with lots of small tables. It would be hard to accommodate a family of my size! Good thing it was just my hubby and I.

Their roasted brussels sprouts were amazing good. (I apologize for the poor photo quality. I only had my phone to shoot the pictures.)

6photoHow do they make prime rib sliders so good? Such a simple dish but we loved them! I know they don’t look like much but looks can be deceiving. The perfect slider all around.

This is their fried chicken sandwich that we did not order. As soon as I saw this as we were walking out, I had huge regrets! I have to go back to try this. It looked beyond amazing and the waiter said it was his favorite thing on the menu. We had a few more dishes and we loved them all. I highly recommend this gem of a restaurant. Oh how I wish we had restaurants like this in Orange County! After your meal, the waiter comes to your table with a plateful of salted chocolate chip cookies for you to taste. I found the salt on the top of the cookies too salty but I loved the gesture! I will write about some other restaurants we ate at later this week so check back! It was a few days of some seriously good eating!
