Join us for an evening of refined flavors and thoughtful pairings as Chef Lynn Pritchard and his team presents a special three-course tasting menu that celebrates technique, seasonality, and balance. Each course is paired with a carefully selected wine to complement and elevate the experience.

Chicken Ballotine

Boneless leg and thigh filled with gruyere and spinach, served over sunchoke purée and topped with delicate frisée. Rich, savory, and deeply satisfying.

Wine Pairing:
Domaine Lafage “Côté Est”
Grenache Blanc, Chardonnay, Rolle | Roussillon, FR | 2021
A crisp, aromatic blend with a bright mineral finish that complements the creamy textures and roasted notes of the dish.

Seared Black Bass
Perfectly crisped skin with a smoked fish velouté, charred scallion, fresh watercress, radish salad, and lemon oil. A vibrant, coastal-inspired plate.

Wine Pairing:
Pax Chardonnay
Sonoma Coast, US | 2022
Elegant with a touch of oak, this chardonnay brings out the sea-kissed flavors of the bass while balancing the smokiness of the velouté.

Cherry Clafouti
A rustic French dessert of dark cherries baked in a soft custard-like batter, paired with house-made spiked cherry ice cream. Comforting and indulgent.

Wine Pairing:
Ferrari Brut
Chardonnay | Trentino, IT | NV
A sparkling finish to your meal—the Brut’s crisp bubbles and clean acidity lift the sweetness and fruit of the dessert beautifully.
