We had the opportunity to sample some delicious food from Shef. Chefs Arthur and Daniela made food for our party guests. On our menu from Arthur was tortilla de patata with roasted garlic honey aioli and aubergine bruschetta with sundried tomato. Daniela made us fudgy chocolate brownies, oreo cheesecake bites, and strawberry shortcake cookies.

We also told guests about Aloha Pediatric Dentistry. With three East Bay locations, they’re ready to care for your little one’s teeth from the very first tooth bud. Did you know you should visit a dentist when your baby’s first tooth erupts or by their first birthday?
