Safron Restaurant

From Ed's suggestion, we at dinner at Safron (cancelling our reservations at Creek Town Cafe) He said both were good, but Safron is unique. After a relaxing meal, we understood why he and all the other locals recommend Safron. It is a quaint little restaurant that is packed! Thank goodness, we made reservations.

I chose a glass of Syrah. Unfortunately, I don't rememember the winery. Steve was trying to choose which Cab to get, so our waitress brought him a tasting of each one available by the glass. He tasted each and then my Syrah. He chose the Syrah which was warm and inviting. When I first tasted the Syrah, it was exciting!

Now, to decide what to eat. Since we had steak yesterday, we wanted something else. Steve had fried, stuffed quail and Kerry ahd a homemade semolina pasta with chorizo sausage in a tomato sauce. Steve doesn't usually like pasta, but he liked his taste of this sauce. It was warm and unusual. I was stuffed full and couldn't eat any dessert. Steve had a vanilla nut custard. He loves custards, but I'm not really into them. But, this one was cold, soft and smooth, like a extra creamy ice-cream that isn't quite frozen. It was so rich we didn't finish it. I think Steve thought he had died and gone to custard heaven :-)
