A lovely seafood forward dinner party on my birthday (and my clients!)!

My phone camera must’ve had something on the lens because the pictures didn’t come out as crisp as I normally like and the colours seem a little off 😞 what’s important though is that everyone was happy!

⭐️ Nobu’s miso black cod with steamed ponzu bok choy
