There were four finger sandwiches per person:  Apricot/Chive Chicken Salad on White Bread; Roast Beef with Caramelized Shallots on Butter Rolls; Fresh Ricotta, Thyme & Oregano topped with Roasted Balsamic Zucchini on toasted Baguette; and Blueberry French Toast on Challah Bread with Goat & Cream Cheese spread and fresh Blueberries.

 ~ The main entree was an Apple, Bacon, Cheddar and Rosemary Quiche.  Yum! ~

The Quiche was followed by Baked Brie glazed with Pomegranate, wrapped in Filo Dough.

Diana, our server, took time to take a picture of the three of us.  L-R: Sandy, Lori and me.

Dessert was a Baked Apple stuffed with Raisins and Walnuts, served with Vanilla Ice Cream, and a Pumpkin Scone.  No one leaves O'Mara's hungry!

We have already made our reservations to return on December 10th for their Christmas Tea. The theme will be A Charles Dickens Christmas Carol.
