Pre-birthday celebrations are the best, especially when a surprise is involved and ESPECIALLY when the friend being celebrated is as sweet and as dear as Deanna. My friends and I were lucky enough to head to my favorite local, farm-to-table restaurant LBR 614, and a fun and oh-so-delicious meal turned into a birthday surprise when Deanna was presented with desserts from Chef Jeff. I know I’ve gushed about the food at LBR 614 before, but I don’t think I’ve shared with you the glory that is eating dessert at this fine establishment. It’s like heaven on a plate. Here’s proof:
Chocolate Cheesecake - rich, tangy, smooth and packed with chocolate
Carrot Cake - Perfectly spiced with fluffy cream cheese frosting
Chocolate Amaretto Torte - I can't even begin to describe the deliciousness of this. Chocolate + chocolate + dark chocolate + creaminess = perfection in dessert form
Thank you, Deanna, for being born, because those desserts were amazing!

Now I want cheesecake!!!
The lightness of this cheesecake is amazing! Now I want another piece! 🙂
I love the chocolate amaretto torte, it inspires me to find a recipe for one. All the cakes look amazing! What a great birthday treat
If you find a good one let me know! This chocolate torte is the best I’ve had.
Hey Rachel, thank you for your post and for brining in Deanna and the crew. We are glad everyone enjoyed everything. Thank you for sharing! Jimmie
Always a pleasure, Jimmie!
EVERYTHING was perfect that day…the Maryland Crab Soup that’s filled with crab (nothing like a restaurant that’s generous with the good stuff)! Ra and I decided to try the Angus Hamburger and…not only is the presentation lovely but the taste, oh, that’s how all hamburger should taste! Loved it.
It was excellent, as usual! I’m glad we got to spend the afternoon together!
What an exquisite place for desserts – that chocolate cheesecake? Oh my god 😀
Happy Easter!

The chocolate cheesecake was delish, but the torte was the best. I can never get enough chocolate! Happy Easter to you as well!
