Dinner by the Creek

Last night we had dinner at Novo, a trendy restaurant in old town San Luis Obispo. It had been a beautiful day so we decided an early dinner would be lovely and a good time to use the gift certificate that my oldest son had given us for Christmas. The patio dining overlooks the creek that runs through our city and is a wonderful place to have dinner on a warm, summer evening. Even though it's not summer yet, we sat out on the patio as they have large heaters installed to keep us toasty warm.

The patio is absolutely beautiful...

There are several levels set up for dining...

We started off with drinks and appetizers... love lemon drop martinis! Those are Shrimp Spring Rolls in the back of my lemon drop...YUM!

Here is a better picture of the Shrimp Spring Rolls and what's left of the Lettuce Wraps...

Then to the main course... I had Chow Novo which is a stir-fry bowl of fresh vegetables, beef and noodles.

Jim had Butternut Squash Curry. I was so full by this time that most of mine came home with me. It will be a real treat having it again ... that is IF I even get hungry today! 

However, there was room for dessert... a McDonnell Ice Cream Sundae and a latte!

It was a wonderful evening spent chatting over dinner and enjoying amazing food! It was fun for a change of pace but was I ever full!

I think I stuffed again just looking at the pictures!
