Jonathan's 25th

On March 5, Jonathan turned 25 years old or as he said a quarter of a century. Have you heard of quarter life crisis?
Anyway, we went out for dinner the next day, Sunday night 6th March as the scenic beach-front restaurant - "Donovans at St. Kilda." The place is famous for its unique home like deco and fine food.

The beach-front seats allow us to watch the sunset into the sea at the distant horizon. The food is obviously up-market in price. 
Our niece Wei Mann took many photos which we have shared in Facebook. I am re-posting a few shots here just to make it more interesting.
