Recommended Service

Most diners like to have causal appetizer platters to share before main dinner.  Chef recommends 2-3 choices of appetizers served platter style and portioned so everyone has a bite of everything before a 3 course dinner.  


Salad components can be added to your appetizer platter to replace a salad course if you'd like to add more appetizers.  


Three  - Six Course plated dining is also available.  Please chat with Chef for more details and help with menu planning.
