I’VE never had a “tasting menu” before. What can I expect?

When you arrive, you’ll be welcomed into our beautiful open kitchen, where the magic happens right in front of you. Our guests are seated around the action, creating an intimate and engaging experience. As you take your seat, our team is ready to serve, setting the tone for a relaxed and welcoming evening.

The experience begins with a parade of small bites, designed to be eaten with your fingers and shared among your party—perfect for sparking conversation and setting a casual, fun atmosphere.

As the chefs prepare each course right before your eyes, you’ll see the focus and precision that goes into plating these beautiful dishes. We encourage guests to ask questions, whether about the ingredients, techniques, or the inspirations behind the dishes. It’s all part of the experience, and we love engaging with our diners.

Throughout the evening, you’ll enjoy several savory dishes, followed by either a cheese course and dessert or two sweet courses to finish the night. The meal concludes on a high note with petit fours—bite-sized treats—served by the chef, who gathers the team to thank you for dining with us.

It’s an evening full of surprises, interaction, and, of course, incredible food!
