Last week was my birthday. My husband said I managed to drag it out a bit into several dinners out with family.

This one was at a restaurant called "Eleven". Wonderful food and my camera phone absolutely does not do it justice, especially in a dark restaurant!

1. Tuna Tartare with Meyer lemon mignonette, pea tendrils, white anchovy
2. Roasted Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Soup with curry and shallots
3. Beet Salad with brioche, pear, lolla rossa, citrus, crème fraiche, maple vinaigrette, pumpkin seed
4. Lamb
5. Beef Tenderloin with roasted cauliflower & broccoli rabe, chimichurri, crispy potato gratin
6. Chocolate-Peanut-Pretzel Candy Bar
brownie, peanut brittle, milk chocolate-peanut butter ice cream
7. Meyer Lemon Pudding Cake

8. A little birthday treat :)
