So, my wife has a class today and informs me that I am in charge of dinner. It is too hot to grill outside, so I asked if I could take her to a nice restaurant? Her eyes popped and said she had heard of a new one in the valley called the Salty Sow. We did a little checking (Yelp) and I was in. Just to make sure we made a reservation on line.
Generally, I don't get too excited about a restaurant, but I have to tell you, we had a great experience. From the time we walked through the door to time we left with a smile on our face we were treated like old friends. Tony, our waiter, was attentive and helpful. Our table was cleaned twice while we were there, and I am not a messy eater.
We started with the "Crispy Brussels Sprout Leaves". Wonderfully unique and very tasty. I had the "Beef Shoulder Slow-Cooked". It was melt-in-your mouth tender. They gave me a knife, but I think I only used it once. The beef was served on "Smashed Potatoes" and veggies and then topped with a fried egg. So good!
My wife had the Halibut. She took one bite and immediate wanted to give me a taste. I feel a little bad, I did not make the same offer. The fish seasoned in a way I had never experienced. It was exceptional.
We shared a butterscotch/caramel desert. A perfect end to our meal. We will be returning to the Salty Sow. I highly recommend it!
