Colette~ A Little Slice of Palm Springs in Porter Square

2019 hasn't gotten off to a great start.  My dad had a pretty significant mixup with his medicine, our roof leaked, I lost my voice, and had a never ending cold that turned into another bout with strep throat!  To say I'm already fed up with this year is an understatement.

Yesterday we tried to right the ship.  We went down to UConn where my Huskies scored 115 points (I'm ignoring the fact that they gave up 75 points.)  When we got I suggested that we go to Sugar and Spice for dinner.  While we were eating JO mentioned that we might go to Colette, which had just opened up next door at the Porter Square Hotel.  (I had secretly been planning this all along!)

So decked out in all of our Husky gear, including my new UConn earrings, we headed over to the new restaurant by the owners of acclaimed Frenchie's in the South End!

Can you be in love with a restaurant because I am!  I love everything that is happening here!  The art deco 1920s Palm Springs vibe is amazing!  I love beautiful restaurants and this one is definitely beautiful!  Check out their Instagram for lots of interior pictures.  I loved all of the bright colors, over the top wallpaper, mix and match vintage chairs, and beautiful light fixtures. 

We grabbed two seats at the marble bar and ordered two glasses of sparkling rose!  Later, JO tried the Colette Mule and said it was really good!  (It was made with brandy not vodka.)

We sampled the dessert.  These fluffy donuts with dipping sauce were to die for!  They were light and fluffy and covered in the most delicious crushed sugar. 

If we lived in Porter Square we would live at this bar!  It was a great warm up for our Palm Springs vacation next week!
