Formal Dinner

From start to finish, our formal dinners uphold sophistication and, above all, quality. We use locally-sourced ingredients, creating balanced dishes focused on seasonality. We discuss at every stage what you really dream of in food, from dinners in your home for your family and friends to a 400-guest celebration – then we make it happen! Here are some sample menus:
