Restaurant of the Month: D

Dinner club was my choice this month and I chose a spot that Kelly and I have been to before, but not for several years, Duff's in the Central West End.

I love going to the Central West End. It's such a neat neighborhood with lots of cute boutiques and restaurants. Duff's has a big outdoor patio and we were lucky that after a long rainy week, the sky cleared and we had a perfect evening to sit outside. I got there a little early and enjoyed people watching until Kelly arrived. Kelly and I ordered some wine and opted to share a couple of small plates: Smoked Salmon Quesadilla - served with edamame guacamole and topped with sesame seeds and Mushroom Ravioli with asparagus and peas served in mushroom consomme with extra virgin olive oil and shaved parmesan cheese. Both were delicious and along with a side salad made for just the right amount of food. After a leisurly dinner we decided to head down to Coffee Cartel, another great spot to sit outside and people watch, for some coffee and dessert. All in all it was the perfect evening of great food, great atmosphere and as always great company!
