Farewell dinner for Kevin Keeker; Good luck in San Francisco!

After 15 years at Microsoft, our good friend and neighbor, Kevin Keeker is moving to San Francisco to pursue a new job. We took this occasion to have a farewell dinner for Kevin at the new El Gaucho in Bellevue. JJ and his lovely wife Nanda found a babysitter for their 2 year old Matilda and were able to join us!

It was a fun evening and Manny was our server. We were showered with attention by several people on the staff including the Captain Steve, aka "Pumpkin", David the GM, Jessica aka "Double L" and Jamal who are friends and also servers at El Gaucho. It felt like one big family!

Some hi-lights of the dinner included champagne and wine, beautifully prepared salmon and peppercorn steaks. We shared many side dishes, sweet corn, cream spinach and a table-side fluffed baked potato.
 
We will definitely miss Kevin, and hope that he returns to Seattle soon. Pictured are Kevin Keeker, Nanda and JJ Guajardo, Ellen and Jeremy.
