We popped a magnum of Faust 2018 ($250) Cabernet to start our birthday celebration for three friends at Osteria La Baia in the theatre district.

Some of the highlights of our apps included the chickpea and escarole tomato soup ($19), a Caesar salad ($22) made with butter lettuce and roasted octopus ($35) and fingerling potatoes in a red pepper remoulade.

Our entrees included their rigatoni with vodka sauce  ($40), rib-eye steak ($65), a lamb shank with broccoli rabe risotto and red snapper du jour ($70). We also had their yummy asparagus and crisp sliced garlic.

We ended with profiteroles stuffed with cream, glazed with chocolate ($18) and crème brûlée ($18) with vanilla custard and fresh berries.
