It was Lisa's birthday on Friday. We spent the day together and had a grand day! We got the kids off to school and headed for a 2 hour massage. After the massage, we had lunch at White Chocolate Grill. From there we went to the Cine Capri and watched "I am Legend." I really enjoyed the movie, Lisa didn't like it as much. The running action on the screen made her stomach a little queasy.
That evening we went to the Luminary at the Botanical Gardens. It was cold, but we had fun. If you haven't been, dress warm. Even bring a blanket depending on the night. The stars were out and the chill was in the air, but it was a beautiful evening. We enjoyed some Jazz music, sipped hot chocolate and strolled along the trail. After the Luminary we went to dinner.
Dinner was at Asia de Cuba, located in the Mondrian Hotel in down town Scottsdale. It was a culinary delight. The restaurant is all white, the staff wears white cloths, the tables are white, the bar was white and the art was white. It was a very modern look. The restaurant combines elements of Asian and Cuban cuisine in a sharing style format. We went for the chef's sampler. It included calamari salad, beef spring roll, tuna tar tar, and as the main dishes we enjoyed whitefish and pork. For desert Lisa went for the Chocolate cake, she loves Chocolate. Everything was delicious and the service was perfect. My favorite was the whitefish, it was marinated and had a sweet twang to it. We started the evening with Martinis and then went into the appetizers. The tuna was fresh and tasty. I was very impressed by the Calamari salad, the chef blended some unique flavors and it was delicious. We enjoyed our evening at Asia de Cuba.
