On Dec 12, Doma Kitchen became the latest restaurant to be recognized as a Blue Zones designated restaurant and to celebrate they had a ribbon cutting ceremony.

Holiday lights adorned the exterior of Doma Kitchen making it a festive place to visit. Owners Stan Mayzalis and Angie Corrente warmly greeted the guests as they entered. A huge canopy in their patio was added since I last visited. Since seating is exclusively outdoors, this was a smart move to make for the winter months.

Executive Chef Kristina Miksyte prepared a number of light appetizers. In addition, her homemade hot chocolate was served. The hot chocolate was rich and thick. Miksyte revealed that she used chocolate chips and peppermint to make it. If you find it at their restaurant, I highly recommend it.
