My birthday dinner

was at Maitre d' in La Jolla. We went with Amy and Josh. The place was really amazing, so amazing they had no high chair. Our waiter Sasha brought out some leopard print pillows and we tied Marlo to her chair with a tablecloth...



Below is the swan ice scuplture that held our raspberry sorbet that they served between courses. (He brought one for Marlo too)

Here is Sasha making ONE of our desserts, Bananas Foster:

I loved the fabric on the walls.

Sasha took Marlo into the kitchen to meet Chef Louie.

Every detail was beautiful...

There were gorgeous oil paintings everywhere.

I loved this lamp...

We had souffles, the best I'd ever had. Marlo had her very own.

Oh my goodness, it was so amazing. The restaurant was just floor to ceiling french, all kinds of interesting decor. I wanted to take everything home with me. The food was unbelievable.

Thanks to everyone for the phone calls and flowers and thanks to my sweet husband, sister and brother-in-law for a great time. A day not to be forgotten...
