A Special Birthday with Special K at Sona Restaurant

Kirk has been just the most amazing boyfriend and friend to me. Tonight was no different. He took me to the well known Sona Restaurant. I have been dying to try this restaurant out and he made my dreams come true by taking me there tonight. It measured up to my standards in every single way. The service was impeccable, extremely attentive but not overbearing. The ambiance was quite but not silent, and trendy, but not pretentious. Kirk and I enjoyed the 6 course menu tasting which was just the right amount of food. Every single piece of ingredient was cooked perfectly and of the highest quality. My favorite was the veal cheeks, so soft and fatty, it just fell apart under my fork. I loved it and look forward to going back to try the 9 course tasting. Thank you Kirk for this memorable meal and for making my life so complete!
