There are delicious things in here
Man, oh man. Dinner.was.perfect.
We ate at Pewter Rose, a cute bistro with art on the walls and trees in the dining room.
See?
But first we had to crack open a little champagne at the hotel…
Aw
… and drink it out of coffee to-go cups.
Welllll
I had a few sips but saved myself for a fancy cocktail at the restaurant. I had the Ruby Red–grapefruit vodka and grapefruit juice.
Tart, not sweet
I requested it tart, not sweet because nothing is more disappointing to me than receiving a cocktail that’s sickeningly sweet. I have an easy life if that’s the most disappointing thing I face, right?
We started with the hummus platter (blowyamind!)…
Hummus platter
…and had to have the soup of the day because it was vegetarian spicy curry.
They're not kidding about the spicy
I had the heart salad–grilled romaine hearts, artichoke hearts and hearts of palm–topped with a black bean burger.
All salads should be grilled
And Stew had a salad with fried goat cheese balls, also topped with a black bean burger.
Stew loves goat cheese
I hated mine.
I was so full I could barely move, but I still felt it necessary to suggest a trip to Amelie’s. All I really wanted was coffee but…
You get a free eclaire on your birthday!
Why WOULDN'T you get a salted caramel brownie?
So that was my birthday. A pretty great start to 25 if I do say so myself. Stew is amazing and did a lot of planning for all this. Love love love. One of my favorite birthdays for what will hopefully be one of my favorite years.
Stew is so sweet! I am so glad you had a great b-day. Isn’t Pewter Rose fantastic? B and I went for the first time tonight and loved it!
shut up! you were there last night, too?? i can’t believe we missed each other!
I got full reading this. Good job, Stewart!
Happy Bday! I love Pewter Rose – and that hummus platter!
was the black bean burger as good as the one from big daddy’s?
Not even close
you look just SMASHING, my dear
xoxo
