We took advantage of Seattle Restaurant Week for Aaron’s birthday dinner tonight. A three-course dinner at (pricy) Palisade for $28 each? Yes, please!

The service was excellent from start to finish, and the atmosphere was beyond beautiful and romantic. We had a primo spot overlooking the marina, and our waitress even showered the table with real rose petals and a “happy birthday” card for Aaron.

I started with the lobster & crab bisque, while Aaron went for the apple & candied hazelnut salad. We both had the prime rib with bacon-onion green beans, Yukon Gold potatoes, and roasted bone jus (YUM) as an entree, and the apple crisp with caramel ice cream for dessert. Aaron had a candle in his, of course!

His actual birthday isn’t until tomorrow, but we enjoyed getting a head start on celebrating with one of the best meals we’ve had together! : )
