a surprise birthday dinner

my brother, charlie's birthday was last sunday, so the family decided to surprise him with dinner and drinks at the elizabeth.

the prix fixe menu offered dishes like roasted organic chicken with couscous and dried fruit (pictured), risotto with sausage and broccoli rabe (pictured) and pan-roasted salmon with bok choy.

opening gifts = the best part of any birthday

the entire room was lit by candles.  so cozy and dim (not to mention, flattering).
