The food all tasted quite fresh and used a lot of fresh vegetables and herbs.  I often remind my clients to use fresh herbs for added flavor and I really like to see this done at restaurants.  The menu includes a myriad of fresh vegetable dishes and lean meats.  My only wish is that they offered more whole grain starch options, but it is otherwise a great choice for a fresh and delicious meal out.I came to Anita’s Kitchen for an early dinner with my husband and son.  I love Lebanese food and since I spotted this restaurant a few months ago, I have been eager to try it.  We chose to sit on the outdoor patio.  The menu offered a great variety of foods at reasonable prices.  I started with our servers’ recommendation of the chic pea salad.  This was a hearty dish of chic peas with cracked wheat and herbs.  Though I did not ask, it seemed to be dressed very lightly with olive oil and red wine vinegar.  It was a large portion so I finished about a third and shared some with my husband and son.  Instead of one of the main plates, all of which looked delicious, I decided on a pita pizza, which immediately grabbed my attention.  Pita pizzas, like English muffin pizzas are always reminiscent of childhood and once I noticed it, I could not pass it up.  It was better than I anticipated and I surprised myself by eating ¾ of the pizza.  The pita was toasted and crispy with a large portion of flavorful spinach and a nice topping of melted cheese.  I was disappointed that the pita was not whole wheat but white flour is only an occasional splurge for me, as is pizza, so I enjoyed every bite!
