Here's a Chocolate Cake I made on the morning of our Anniversary last week intending it to be for later on that evening...
Mr Armchair took us (that is me and JoJo) out for a celebration dinner so this little heartcake is patiently sitting in the freezer all ready to be decorated with strawberries and cream another day!!!
We went into town to our favourite Restaurant 'On The Pier'...
here is the view awaiting us...
Rusty old anchor out the front...
'Boatsheds' on the deck...
The view up river...
Looking across the famous Clyde River Bridge...
Looking towards the Oyster Sheds...
The Clyde is well known for its Sydney Rock Oysters which are used locally...in Sydney and around New South Wales...
Starting off with a cocktail...
A delicious red from the Geelong Wine Region (Victoria)
JoJo started off with Rosemary and Parmesan Grissini, marinated olives and Persian Fetta...
We had Oysters Kilpatrick!!!
Char Grilled grass fed Beef Fillet, Garlic Potatoes, Crisp Crab Ravioli with Soy and Green Chilli reduction for Mr Armchair...
Tempura Prawns, Spiced plum Sauce and Lemon for JoJo...
and my choice...twice cooked Pork Belly with warm Salad of Grilled Scallops, Chilli Pineapple and soft Herbs...
A hot chocolate for JoJo...
Delicious dessert...Pavlova Mess...Strawberries in a light rice biscuit (can't think of the name...it's very popular and I have never seen it gluten free before...normally wound round a wooden spoon straight after cooking..it'll come to me and I'll slip it in) and sorbet!!!
Thanks to Amy who has spurred me on and suggested Tuile...I'm pretty sure it was a Brandy Basket!!!
Here we are!!!
JoJo took herself out on the deck after dinner...
A couple of moored boats...
Part of the interior...
And I couldn't resist a snap of the sugar in a glass!!!
We had a wonderful evening...
wouldn't mind dining like this a bit more often...
beautiful views...delicious food...
and a great venue!!!
Happy Anniversary Hubby!!!

Happy Anniversary, Dzintra! Restaurant looks lovely, we will have to call in on our way down the coast one day.
Amy.
PS, did you mean a 'tuile' biscuit?
Happy anniversary! What a beautiful spot to celebrate it. Whenever you show us photos of your area it always makes me think of the movie "Oyster Farmer", even though it's set on the Hawkesbury. So much of the NSW coastline so beautiful though. ♥
Thanks for sharing venue and menue.
