a delightful degustation...

Last night, V and I celebrated in style at Caveau restaurant - feteing a belated Valentines Day, and his birthday, both of which he missed due to being away for work



♥ Rose&Ruby dress
♥ Tony Bianco heels
♥ Tiffany&Co rings
♥ Georgini bracelet



Despite the insane heat, I was having a (rare) good hair day, so I had to wear it lose, although logic would have dictated I wear it up...



We started the night with a Kir Royale - champagne with cassis, so yummy



And so begun 7 courses of deliciousness, with matched wines - yes, we caught a cab home!



Cured local snapper with mud crab, tomatoes, lemon oil & baby herbs



Steamed scallop mousse with scampi tail, champagne leeks, caramelised fennel & scampi bisque

    Thankyou for the sweet comments lovelies! ♥

    Miss Kitty-Cat - my hair is actually naturally very wavy, so I don't have to do much to curl it! I gave it a light curl with the ghd and miraculously was good to go :D

    iowntoomuch - you must go there for dinner, its the bomb!

    aelie - thanks hun, I think it might wear it to high tea next month!
