Happy Birthday John

Feliz Cumpleños Juan, y puede usted tener mucho más

Muchas Gracias to all of you - This is the first time I saw this Happy Birthday wish. Myself and the Dinner group went out a day earlier, on Thursday night instead of Friday night. Laurent already had a party of 13 booked for 6 PM on Friday. I booked with 11 on Thursday.

We ALL had a nice time and everyone had delicious meals as is usually the case at Laurent. I had Onion Soup to start as did a few others. Some ordered Caesar Salad. One ordered Mussels Marinara, a huge bowl of Mussels. I ordered my Filet Mignon. At least 3 ordered Rib Eye, 2 ordered Lamb. 1 ordered Duck Confit. 1 ordered Fettucine with Shrimp sauce. 1 ordered Tuna Steak, done Rare. Can't remember what others had. 2 people bought 3 bottles of Cote du Rhone wine amongst 5 people. Someone told the restaurant that it was my Birthday, so they brought out a Chocolate Mousse dessert with a candle on it. They comped the dessert. I bring 10 - 12 people there 4 times a year.

I'm officially a 67 year old fart! haha
