Thursday evening Julie of Scottsdale Daily Photo, hosted a birthday celebratory dinner for Dave her husband and author of Tamarindo Costa Rica Daily Photo, and what a memorable event it was. Above, you see Dave after his "Happy Birthday" dessert arrived.
The event took place at Elements Restaurant in a special room with a full view of the kitchen so we could watch the experts preparing each of the five courses they skillfully presented to us. Here you see three guests (and of course good friends) enjoying the kitchen view and studying the evening's menu. You can also see that we were sitting under a very unique and lovely chandelier.
One last photo of one of the skilled chefs putting the final touches on our salad. It was such a fun event with lots of fantastic food, wonderful wine, and the tons of laughter among good friends.
Thanks Julie for including me and my good friend David for your David's birthday celebration.
An exquisite celebration!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday, Dave! Great photos, Sharon.

ReplyDeleteAnd a very big happy birthday to Dave. What a cool place and great celebration. Y'all take "gourmet" to a whole new level!
ReplyDeleteIt seems you had a lovely evening.
ReplyDeleteIf the kitchen clock is right, restaurants would not even be open for dinner here. Do you usually dine so early over there? :-)
Very nice! Happy Birthday, Dave!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice post for the birthday, all I gave Dennis was a clown.
Great time for all!
