South Riding – Ladies night out (at home) Party of 7 with a Personal Chef

Tropical salad
Tropical salad – Light and Flavorful – No Dressing

A wonderful time last night in South Riding, Virginia – where the ladies took some time to celebrate a very special birthday. (I think it was her 20th!)

The setting was very nice and everyone came together to celebrate the day, have a few drinks and eat some good food.

Once again – the guests made everything great for me. I hope I was successful in returning the same good time.

    Amazing evening, great drinks, appetizers, three course meal designed to perfection and artfully displayed, and finished off with Sweet Harmony desserts. The table decor and lighting was out of a style magazine!! You all outdid yourselves. I agree, this was a great evening, the food couldn’t have been better! Great job Chef Michael, I will recommend you to everyone I know! Cheers
