These special events, held three times a year for the past three years, are a creative outlet for Brian’s latest culinary inspirations. But more importantly, the events have become a rare opportunity for guests - loyal or new - to experience fresh, gourmet ingredients prepared in exciting and delicious ways. These food and wine pairings started as a small gathering and have grown to reach full capacity. Seating is limited and space must be reserved in advance.
We still have some openings! Make your reservation today. 243-3380
