In Pursuit of A Quiet, Peaceable L.

We went to Latuli for an early Valentine's Day dinner. We went on that Friday at 5 pm to beat the Valentine's Day frenzy expected on Saturday. My husband had been talking about this place for months, driving by, etc. So this was a good time to try it. As we have been blessed to dine in many places in the world, Latuli felt like being back in Spain or even Portugal with its Mediterranean decor and asthetics. I loved the oversized planters and use of natural materials (stone and natural woods, leather). Beautifully appointed and designed. Unfortunately, we were pressed for time and could not spend as much time as we should have to really relax and get a feel of the flow. Even so, we were there long enough to experience their attentive service, and well prepared meal selections. My Grouper was delicious (tender and bouncy on the tongue and cheek) and rested on collard greens cooked perfectly tender, but not mushy and the flavors of the "pot liquor" (if you grew up eating greens in the south, you know what this is) had a delicious bacon infused flavor. However, I would suggest excluding it because you need to rest your fish at the base of the greens to cut it and the pot liquor will make the fish soggy. So I had to carefully keep my Grouper on top of the greens. Bread service is amazing delicious with yeast rolls, jalapeño jelly, an infused butter whip and a small skillet delicious corn bread. Beware, they are not stingy with their servings as some restaurants in this category are. We realized immediately after ordering the Bread Service and the shareable Tomatoe Salad that we only need one of these to start our meal. Lastly, my husband is still saying that his snapper was the best he had eaten. We didn't have time to stay for dessert, but we hope to visit again soon.
