Butter Cake at California Pizza Kitchen
I’ve always loved CPK. Tough to resist their wildly gourmet pizzas, supreme light bites (those shrimp lettuce cups) and their primo salads (who hasn’t indulged in that heavenly Barbecue Chicken?). As a mom, I’m also a big fan of their very kid-friendly menu and have frequented this forever-a-favorite dining destination on a regular basis with the kids in tow. Now, with the launch of their new seasonal menu items at the original Beverly Hills location on Beverly Drive, I’ve been hitting CPK for many an adults-only outing — and, we grown-ups are loving every bite (and sip) of it. These divine menu additions along with the artisanal cocktails, which are expected to roll out in all CPK’s very soon, have me hooked! A few of my favorites:
Lobster Roll Flatbread

OK, need I say more? The authentic taste will have you thinking you’ve just landed on the shores of Maine. I could easily eat several orders of this.
California Roots

The new cocktail additions alone are worthy of a visit. This refreshing concoction is made with Fresh Avocado & Mint, Agave Sour, Fennel, Vodka and Salt Rim. Fancy right?
Hearth-Roasted Halibut

Talk about a sophisticated dish. I devoured every morsel of it.

Give me strength here! This slice of perfection must have come straight from Cloud 9. I’m weak even thinking about it.
Enough of the daydreaming. I know exactly where I’m having dinner tonight…
