A Fantastic Birthday Dinner...

...at Aqua by Larbi at the Palmilla Resort, San José del Cabo.
After being driven down to the restaurant by 'golf' cart type vehicle..we were greeted by our hostess and seated for cocktails while our 'table' was being set up. I had my usual Bombay Safire Martini and my Mrs had a White Sand cocktail. Once seated at the C shaped seating under the lit umbrella overlooking the sea, we ordered. She, a vert nice Mexican Sav Blanc and I a red blend...both very nice. We each had the delicious Chicken totilia soup....excellent.! For our entres, she ordered the red snapper and I picked the seafood paella. Oh my God.. both were mouth watering...
The snapper done to perfection and my paella was fabulous with a lobster tail and large pieces of octopus, squid and more on the traditional saffron bed of rice. It was Delicious..to say the least. The atmosphere was very charming and romantic and the service impeccable. Outstanding!!
What a wonderful way to celebrate.... My Mrs outdid herself once again....
It was....awesome....

Happy Wednesday everyone! I went with a nice USDA Prine rib eye to go with the Artemis.


It came out perfectly cooked to medium rare center with a nice crust for a little texture. Also some asparagus and some bell peppers (which are not in the photo). It was very tender with good flavor.
