Book Club at Saxon and Parole

Another Book Club dinner with the girls tonight. This time at Saxon and Parole. The last time I was in this place it was for my "hip dinner" - a gathering of 24 of my closet friends 2 days before my hip replacement surgery. I had an broken down hip, and this place was called Double Crown. Now the decor has changed to the feel of an English manor complete with lots of horseshoes on the ceiling and, leather banquettes, and many a horse picture.





We ate downstairs, which I enjoyed, as it was the quieter and more exclusive area. The food is decent. A good selection of filling portions and heartier fare. I started with the endive salad, which came with stilton, grapes and cranberry seeds. My main course was a delicious sweet potato risotto with kale. The kale had a nice smokey bite to it. The portion was so large, I came home with at least half of it.   Drinks were decent. Definitely try the peach beer! I am not a beer drinker and this one tasted like a peach wine cooler. ( from back when I used to drink wine coolers in college! )

All in all, a good standard place to go, I will certainly be back.
