What to Expect
The Chef’s Tasting Menu is a guided dining experience—rather than ordering à la carte, guests enjoy a curated progression of courses designed to flow seamlessly from start to finish. This experience allows our chefs to tell a story through food, showcasing technique, seasonality, and balance across five courses.
To preserve the integrity of the experience for all guests, courses are served at a deliberate pace. We kindly ask guests to arrive on time, as arrivals more than 10 minutes late may miss the first course.
If you’d like to extend your evening, you are welcome to continue your night at our bar following the tasting, pending availability.
“Our tasting menu is about intention—every ingredient, every technique, every moment at the table,” shares our culinary team. “We want guests to experience food that feels thoughtful, celebratory, and rooted in the season.
