It was sushi and sake and, of course, French champagne on the menu for Lara Bingle, who celebrated her 24th birthday with a mixed bunch of pals at Toko on Wednesday night.
Arriving about 7pm and flanked by her mum and make-up artist pal Max May, Bingle - sporting her trademark middle part - strode into the Surry Hills eatery and was soon joined by BFF Kyle Sandilands and bar baron Justin Hemmes, as well as Erin McNaught, her boyfriend Nathan Joliffe, socialite Tyler Atkins and Bingle's DWTS partner Carmelo Pizzino.
In spite of their reputation as party animals, spies said the group kept things relatively subdued.
"There was one, maybe two, bottles of champagne, some sake and a few beers but nothing too wild," said one spy. "Everyone took turns giving her a present and after dinner everyone pretty much left.

LARA'S BIRTHDAY TREATS
Do you think Lara Bingle enjoyed her 24th birthday?
"I'm in complete love with Sydney today. If I could marry this day I would," she tweeted.
Lara spent the day enjoying a late afternoon drink with her mum and friends at the Winery in Surry Hills, though she must have been starving because when we snapped her earlier she was eating one of her birthday cards while driving her car.
Among her presents was a photographic ode to Kate Moss by Mario Testino, which she clutched tightly like an excited little girl who couldn't wait till she got home to look through it.
That's as it should be on your birthday, presents, family and friends.

BINGLE'S MYSTERY BIRTHDAY MESSAGE
The Bingle-Derulo 'Are they? Aren't they?' debate continues as the former-Speedo model posts a picture of a birthday message signed 'Jase' on Twitter.UPDATE 3.25PM - Despite all evidence to the contrary, Lara's mystery man 'Jase' has been revealed - and it's not Derulo.
No, the man behind Lara's sandy birthday message is The Block's Jason Sullivan - the interior design and renovation guru. Could there be another Jason vying for Lara's heart?
Just when you thought you'd heard the last from the publicity-hungry twosome, another hint alluding to the relationship between Lara Bingle and Jason Derulo has landed in the Twittersphere.
After announcing her birthday on the social media site - "I'M TWENTY- FOUR TODAY.... AND I'M HAPPY TO BE HERE. AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT COMES NEXT" - the Aussie model posted a picture of a birthday greeting drawn in the sand, tellingly signed 'Jase'.
The model gushed "I am so lucky!" in the caption on Twitter.
And yesterday the American R'N'B hit-maker Tweeted at Bingle: "Skype is my faithful lover."
The relationship between the pair - which has so far been primarily conducted via the social networking site - kicked off after they met at last year's ARIA Awards.
Bingle played the host the next day, taking the visiting star for a walk along the Bondi to Bronte coast and then, a few days later, jetted to Brisbane to attend his concert.
They have since flirted openly on Twitter, and in November Lara’s BFF Hermione Underwood uploaded a video of herself and Lara singing to Jason’s Ridin’ Solo, which he then re-tweeted to his many followers.
Bingle has also hooked-up with the singer twice stateside, even spending New Year’s Eve with him in Vegas.
The bikini babe might not be officially dating Derulo but she's clearly made an impression on him, with Derulo revealing that she was the inspiration behind some love songs on his second album, Future Music.
"Yeah I've written a few songs on the album for Lara," he said last month. "She's someone that's dear to me."
And he revealed he could be heading to Australia very soon for a private rendezvous with Bingle.
"It'll be my first break in two years."
The LA-based singer said he had kept an eye on Bingle as she had been competing on Dancing With the Stars.
"I watch every episode on YouTube. She's been great," Derulo said.
"It's been amazing to watch the transformation. I remember showing her the waltz. Now she's going to be showing me stuff.
"She's one of the sweetest people I've ever met."

MODEL BEHAVIOUR BINGLE AND MCNAUGHT LUNCH AT TROPPO'S
It's all hair, sunnies and teeth in the picture of Lara Bingle and Erin McNaught.
The model duo enjoyed some lunch at Tropicana in Darlinghurst yesterday.
Perhaps McNaught wanted to hear the goss from Bingle on the latest rumour about her and Danny Cipriani getting close in Melbourne's Hotel Barkly after Dancing With The Stars at the weekend?
"Danny looked absolutely smitten with Lara. They were definitely getting pretty cosy together," an insider said according to the Herald Sun.

LARA: GET AN EYEFUL!
Lara Bingle’s thrilled to be climbing the fashion career ladder thanks to a new collab.
Aside from dancing and tweeting, Lara Bingle has another major hobby: fashion. She trawls blogs, lusts over Ellery jackets (and tweets about them effusively) and hangs out with high-profile stylists and designer friends.
She’s approached constantly to collaborate with brands, but when sunnies label ROC Eyewear came knocking, she pinned down a real opportunity.
“No other celebrity in Australia has done sunglasses – everyone does swimsuits. It’s a bit cliched,” Lara says on the set of her luxe campaign shoot at Sydney’s notorious Ivy Penthouse. “I’m always photographed in sunglasses so it’s not an odd choice for me.”
As the face of ROC, Lara is working on a capsule collection to come out later this year.
“I’m designing several pairs – a few basics and some fashion-oriented ones that are very on-trend,” she says.
On her moodboard? “Kate Moss (obviously!), Chloe Sevigny, Erin Wasson and the Olsens – they all love sunglasses. Those girls look accessible and simple but chic at the same time.”
Lara wanted her campaign, shot by renowned photographer Pierre Toussaint, to feel “glamorous but raw” and looked to fash-forward magazines Self Service and Acne Paper for inspiration.

SINGLE BINGLE IS A REBEL AT HEART
Lara Bingle said she needed to let off some steam after the pressures of another week on Dancing With The Stars.
Enter rugby bad boy Danny Cipriani.
The pair were reportedly spotted "canoodling" just hours after Bingle performed on the Seven show, the latest in a long line of good-looking conquests for the Melbourne Rebels' English import.
An insider at Melbourne's celeb haunt Laika Bar said the easy-on-the-eye pair were "canoodling" on the couch.
Before their night out, Bingle made no secret of her desire to hit the town with good friend Erin McNaught and her Amazing Race model boyfriend Nathan Joliffe, who were in the audience at DWTS.
"We are going to have a drink. It's nice to have your friends in town, it makes it more special ... but I need a drink after all that," Bingle laughed after the show.
The rugby pin-up, who used to date British babe Kelly Brook, has been linked to Tamara Jaber and more recently Jesinta Campbell.
He hooked up with Campbell earlier this year - again on a night out in Melbourne - but the fling was short-lived.
Bingle's manager Titus Day denied any romance, but confirmed the couple had met at the club on Sunday.
"Lara said he is a nice guy, that's all," Day said yesterday.
