It was my dear friend Peter's birthday dinner tonight - he doesn't officially celebrate the big day till the 22nd, mere days before Christmas - and we decided to leave King Street (yes I know!) and head to the lovely north shore. Pre-dinner drinks were at Delicato's, a funky Spanish wine and beer and tapas place on Blues Point Road, just down from Blu Ginger where we had dinner.
The waiter at Delicato's was so genuinely friendly, and while it isn't cheap, the wines, beers and food are so good it's totally worth what you pay. We gave Peter his presents there and had a lovely time perched high on our stools. We will be back!

Dinner was at Blu Ginger, an Indian restaurant of consistently great food, wonderful service, and fun ambience. We had lots of wine, so much food I was expecting to explode at any moment, and they brought the cake out right on cue, which led to some fun photos of Peter blowing out the candles.
