We warmed up the night with two standout martinis: Lori sipped on the Espresso Martini, a rich and smooth blend that set the evening's tone, while I savored the French Martini, fruity and whimsical. Each cocktail was beautifully crafted—perfect for Instagram, and even more enjoyable in real life.
Tapas & Mains Worth Savoring
Mama Foo Foo's menu delivers more than just cocktails. We started with the Burrata & Fig Crostini—a delicate, creamy delight—a great match for conversation and clinking glasses. Then came the Shrimp and Grits, reimagined with a modern twist, and Lori’s fan-favorite Crispy Wings (available in island spicy or honey-soy versions) disappeared fast. On the small plates list, Saffron Arancini, Coconut Cauliflower, and Buffalo Fried Deviled Eggs are highly recommended if you're ordering tapas.
