Walnut Crusted Goat Cheese over Spring Mix with Craisins and Spiced Pecans. I don't usually get excited about salad, but this one made me smile:
Want to know where to go and get all this delicousness? It would be The Wine Loft in Long Branch's Pier Village!!! The Loft features comfortable couches and an offering of plenty of great wines by the glass and by the bottle! The atmosphere is soothing and relaxing aiming to make patrons feel as though they are sipping wine in their own living room. And for the non-vino drinkers (shame on you) there is a full service spirit and mixed drink menu. I'm highly obsessed with the small plate menu selections, as evidenced by the above photos.

First the Cove, and now this. All I want to do is hang out with you at these places! I could totally picture our regular Friday outings with a walk down on the boardwalk and then a whole afternoon sitting on the couch knoshing....until we get a phone call from your husband saying he's getting on the bus to head home. Then we'd have to bust it up the Parkway! :-) That cheeseboard. I. Die. And I insist on making my own cocktail sauce. I'm adding sriracha next time baby! Woohoo!
