As many of you know, yesterday was a rather special night for me, and I chose to celebrate at DBGB Kitchen & Bar, one of my favorite new eateries. It's nothing too fancy, just delicious simple food served in a great casual ambiance. 
For our appetizers we ordered the Fried Egg Bourguignon (duck confit and cracklins, portobello mushroom, red wine and spicy greens) which was to die for (the SO and I were both tempted to order another), the Pate Campagnard (good but not great) and the Beef Bone Marrow (which comes with some delicious Katz's pastrami). 
No photos of the entrees as we were starving and forgot to take a photo before we devoured them, but in case you're curious SO and I had the Sauteed Skate with Cauliflower Risotto and the House-Made Tagliolini Pasta. I absolutely love skate but it's rarely done well, but DBGB's was absolutely scrumptious and the risotto, with its beautiful baby cauliflower, was just heavenly. And don't even get me started on the tagliolini - wild mushroom ragout, handmade pasta, spinach pistou, all topped with an egg yolk - warm comfort in a bowl!
And what's a special occasion without dessert? While I love DBGB's ice cream sundaes, I decided to try something different and got the Souffle Chaud which is a Grand Marnier souffle with creme anglaise that takes ten minutes as it's prepared to order. It was hot, sugary, creamy, fluffy, and simply decadent.
As for my makeup, I decided to keep it simple and elegant by doing a quick look using my Guerlain Bal de Nuit holiday quad.
I used the soft ivory shade all over my lid and the taupe shade alng my outer V, then piled on the mascara and I was good to go! I wore Chanel Narcisse on my cheeks (I can't thank Nicole enough for this, it's seriously the most versatile blush I own), highlighted using Guerlain's Perles Imperiales Meteorites, and my much-cherished Sensai Lipstick in Hitoume.
How was your Tuesday? Do anything interesting? :)

Catherine it was - full of delicious foods and yumminess!
Sheila I felt like I hadn't been out to a nice restaurant in forever (although that's probably untrue LOL) - regardless it was nice to get out for the night as work has been tough lately.
I'm really loving Bal de Nuit because it's understated yet makes an impact and really makes a gorgeous elegant evening eye.
LOL Mary - I skipped dinner last night so I was dying while editing these photos. I went to bed so so hungry!
It was actually my anniversary - but thank you! :)
Hey Mischievous Mack!
The food at DBGB is great - nice portions, fun to eat, and really just soul-warming and all around comforting.
Oh, then:
Happy Anniversary!!!! <3
I am glad you guys had a great time. I must admit, I felt somewhat clueless about food reading this post. As silly as it sounds, I have no idea what confit or ragout are. I had to look it up. You would never find such a restaurant near my place. People in these parts are more into steaks and Friday night fish fry.
Deb all things I enjoy as well! I love a good medium to medium rare steak - sit me down at Peter Luger's with a giant steak and some creamed spinach and I'm in heaven. I guess I just love food, which might be why I have such a tough time sticking to my diet.
I'm feeling great today though - I've been eating healthy for the past 2 weeks or so and I've even started going to the gym again!
Jen it all looks so delish. There's nothing better than great food and absolutely wonderful and loving company. Congrats on your anniversary. I just love you and SO even though he hasn't made a guest appearance, I so feel he is a part of our "family". :O)
I'm glad you had a good time. The food looks delicious. You're making me hungry now.
And I love the look you did, it's simple but beautiful and classy.
you've got me drooling over here!
ahh, nothing beats nyc resturaunts. [:
hope you had a wonderful anniversary (:
Thanks Tala! I enjoy good food as much as I do makeup.
I love the ABS family, and the SO is definitely a part of it, at least in spirit! =P
LOL Gio every time I scroll back to this post I get hungry again!
I did indeed Ezzie, thanks so much!
Mmm...looks delicious! Hope you and the SO had a great time ^.^
Love your look too, so pretty!
We did Lisa, thanks so much! I definitely felt elegant in my Bal de Nuit EOTD!
