Mmmmmm…Vista!
Filed Under Uncategorized
The Shop Tart has been a fan of Michelle Wang’s since the original Miyo’s on Main, across from the Nickelodeon Theater. All of Michelle’s restaurants have a bustling, big city feel, right here in Columbia. Her newest venture, M Vista on Lady Street, manages to top all the others.
As always, impeccable service complements fab food and sophisticated atmosphere. Rumor has it servers are required to maintain a certain grade point average to keep their jobs. This wouldn’t surprise the Shop Tart in the least.
But on to more interesting things…
On a recent visit, Mr. Shop Tart chose a seat facing the television in the bar, so he could watch replays of Mike Holmes’ now famous pass, hoping to catch a glimpse of the basketball star’s mouthed instruction to teammate Zam Frederick, “Go long.” Holmes might be the cure for what ails the Gamecock’s football program*, n’est-ce pas? He also chose the delicious chicken curry, with a side of chili paste of course.
Out of the kindness of your heart, please forgive the Shop Tart for her new PhotoShop experiment: floating items of food. She has no patience for reading directions and must learn through trial and error. Ahem.
With a full afternoon ahead, she chose the sashimi lunch plate, a meal that never fails to energize her for the rest of the day.
M Vista is also a perfect destination for dinner in the evening. The Shop Tart had an absolute blast with a huge group of girlfriends there last summer. They were seated in a small private room in the center of the restaurant and had their very own waitress, devoted to their happiness - so much fun!
After lunch, the Shop Tart popped into the J Thomas Salon to do a little research for an article she was writing for Jolie. She’s meant to stop by ever since Freya arrived with Smashbox Cosmetics and she wasn’t disappointed. the colors are amazing and the packaging is fun and flirty. Determined to use everything in her already overflowing makeup suit case arsenal kit, the Shop Tart is taking a self-imposed break from buying anything new. She can’t wait to run out of a few things to create space…
In other news…
- AnnaBelle finally spilled some details about her party on Thursday. Pretty clothes, hors d’œuvre, champers and chocolate…what’s not to love? And the Shop Tart was so excited to hear about a fabulous prize one lucky customer will win: Wear your LaRoque original to the party to be entered in a drawing for a $100 gift card. That would go a long way towards paying for your Carolina Cup dress. If you can’t make it to the party, you can still get 20% off any purchase you make that day. AnnaBelle can’t wait to entertain in her newly renovated space!

* The Shop Tart cannot take credit for this thought, which is far beyond her sports reach. Her father said something to that effect when he stopped by after the game.
