Description

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with an evening of fine dining, wine pairings, and live music in our historic ballroom. Five courses. Exceptional wines. A night devoted to love.

Details

Cocktail Reception & Antipasti Table | Sip on a passed pour of bubbly while enjoying an artisanal spread of meats, cheeses, marinated mushrooms, grilled octopus, olives, Peppadew peppers, white anchovies, and freshly baked bread and crackers—a perfect introduction to a night of culinary indulgence.

First Course | Japanese Jidori Egg & Ossetra Caviar
Sous vide egg, potato foam, arugula, chive oil, smoked sourdough lace, and a hint of lemon zest—an elegant and refined beginning to the evening.

Second Course | Mediterranean Red Mullet
Stuffed with shrimp mousse and wrapped in Savoy cabbage, served with beurre blanc-herb oil, highlighting delicate, ocean-inspired flavors.

Intermezzo | Passionfruit Pineapple
A refreshing palate cleanser to awaken the senses and prepare for the richness ahead

Third Course | Seared Hudson Valley Foie Gras
Accompanied by plantain pavé, orange caramel, and cacao nibs, this luxurious dish is both decadent and deeply flavorful.

Fourth Course | Grilled Bison Loin
Served with mixed wild mushroom duxelles, black garlic, pea tendrils, corn shoots, broccoli-artichoke spoonbread, and finished with a whole grain mustard demi—a hearty, savory centerpiece.

Fifth Course | Heart-Shaped Box
A romantic finale of dark chocolate cake, red berry crunch, mocha chocolate cream, and assorted truffles—a sweet ending to the evening.

Each course is paired with exceptional wines, thoughtfully selected to complement and elevate the flavors of the evening. Live music throughout the historic ballroom adds a warm, intimate ambiance, creating a Valentine’s experience that is both indulgent and unforgettable.

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with a curated six-course journey designed to be savored, shared, and remembered.
