Chef's Dinner at a my house

Menu
    My mother-in-law was staying with us for her yearly visit. We decided to hire a private chef to make a 5 course dinner for family and friends to commemorate the year. I pared wine from my cellar to match. The menu is above. We started first with Canapes
The canapes were good. I really enjoyed the carpaccio.
The takeoff on spanakopita was very good. I like the crunchy phyllo dough.

This course was the macadamian nut crusted mahi mahi over coconut risotto. This was fantastic, The risotto was cooked well. Next course was the ribeye over potatoes and crimini mushrooms. The meat was from Hawaii and tasted great. I paired this with 1998 Opus I. It was fantastic. Dessert was mango-macadamian nut spring rolls. I will post a photo when I find it. They were so good that Logan licked the plate. All in all a great meal.
