"Tasting Menu", another way to go! For years we have offered what we call a "Chefs Table" dinner, a takeoff on what is called a "Menu de Degustation" in Europe. Such a Menu consists of several courses in smaller portions with matching wines. Rather then presenting you with a set menu, we like to show you a few "Sample Menus" matched with wines to get you interested, then customize the menu to your preference in selections and price. There are several advantages in considering a "Tasting Menu". The Chef and the staff will devote special attention to this Menu that was created especially for you. When you arrive with your guests, you will be seated as VIP with personalized Menus on your table. You and your guests will be able to enjoy each others company without having to go through Menus and Wine lists. If "Champagne on arrival" was selected, it will be on the table and served once you are seated. Each course has been carefully selected and served with a matching wine to bring about a balanced, but diversified dining experience. We can put together such a menu very quickly, even the same day, but in order to do the best possible job, we appreciate a weeks notice. Here are a few sample Menus: Reception Champagne, Gruet NV The Tasting Menu: Avocado Tart with prawns, tropical fruit salsa and marinated shrimps Sauvignon Blanc, Steven Vincent, Lake County 2002 ~~~~ "Potage Senegales": a cream of chicken with a touch of curry and an apple garnish Viognier, Praxis, Lodi 2002 ~~~~
