Along with my beautiful new Ralph Lauren jacket (thank you to my wonderful mummy and daddy too), Dave's birthday treat to me was dinner at Summit in Sydney. Summit revolves 360 degrees, 47 floors above the habour over the hour so you have uninterrupted views across the whole of Sydney, even as far as to the Blue Mountains on a good day, throughout your meal. It is owned by celebrity chef Michael Moore and is one of the best restaurants in Sydney - lucky me! We started the evening with cocktails in the Orbit Lounge, which is the bar adjoining Summit. The views were incredible - and my cocktail was pretty good too. 
Dinner was also a delicious affair. I had the asparagus 'pissaladiere' salad to start with buffalo mozzarella, taleggio and walnuts, followed by Jewfish (funny name, I know) with pepperoncini, roma tomatoes, anchovies and a kind of ratatouille. Both were gorgeous - beautifully presented and tasted delicious too. Dessert was a birthday-style hot raspberry jam meringue souffle with poached raspberrries and raspberry custard - it looked amazing (and was huge too) but it was a little too sweet for my liking (I did manage to finish it all off though!).
Coffee and petit fours followed along with the sunset, which was beautiful.
A trip to the casino, Star City, finished our evening off nicely. I indulged in a few too many amaretto sours whilst Dave had a flutter, and won some money too. Woo. Thank you for a wonderful evening Dave, I'm a very spoilt girl, I couldn't have asked for a better birthday :)
