A Picnic Basket

With warm weather in the air and long summer days lingering on, it's the perfect time of year for a picnic.  Picnics hold a nostalgic spot in everyone's hearts whether they've ever been on one or not. And a picnic theme is a great idea for your company's summer events, as well as a great idea for a relaxed wedding or any social gathering.

A great way to host a picnic is to incorporate classic elements but with an updated twist. Just because it's a picnic doesn't mean it has to be full of tupperware and ziploc bags. It can still be as carefully executed as a black tie affair. Having servers tray pass appetizers on wood slabs, and serving your beverages in mason jars(which could definitely be filled with our signature lavender lemonade and and a citrus vodka for a great summer treat!) are perfect nods to the classic picnic.

Strawberry Fields

 It's Strawberry Season in southern California and that means delicious fresh strawberries are taking center stage in our kitchen.  Enjoy our wild baby greens salad with strawberries, feta, and champagne-orange vinaigrette, or try our chilled strawberry basil soup shooters for a savory addition to any meal. As an appetizer on the sweeter side enjoy freshly picked strawberries stuffed with ginger cream cheese and fresh mint. And of course, strawberries truly shine as dessert!  Our cake goddesses are taking advantage of the season with strawberry macrons, strawberry short cake, strawberry pie and chocolate dipped strawberries too!

Our mixologists are also joining in on the fun! You're guests will be pleasntly surprised to sip on our house-made strawberry tequila, a strawberry basil martini, or a refreshing strawberry and ginger cooler.

Cheers to Strawberry Season!

Colette's is ready for your graduation celebrations, father's day BBQs, summer soirees and of course fabulous weddings. And in keeping with the festive mood of summer entertaining we're introducing some delicious menu items that are light and crisp for those hot summer parties.

And fish tacos can be served up by our chefs as an entree or try them mini for a fun and unexpected appetizer that will wow your guests.

For dessert try our Cake Goddessess' newest creation; Avocado Panna cotta (clearly we've fallen head over heels with avocado)
