Summer Solstice
The Longest Day · The Best Table
Our new dinner party series kicks off on the longest day of the year. June 21 — the summer solstice — is the perfect night to gather, linger, and celebrate the season at its peak.
Our inaugural event, Summer Solstice, features a welcome cocktail, a chef's tasting bite, and three courses built around what's at its absolute best right now. Each dish is designed to shine alongside curated wine and cocktail pairings from our cellar and bar. It's a night to eat well, drink well, and share a table with friends old and new.
The days are long. The table is set. Seats are limited — tickets required.

A Menu Built for the Solstice
Three courses designed around what's at its peak on June 21 — bright, seasonal, and crafted to celebrate the height of summer. Every dish is an expression of the moment.
Curated Pairings
Each course is matched with wine from our cellar or a cocktail from the bar — chosen to complement the season and carry the evening forward. Drink well. The night is long.
Gather & Linger
The solstice is the longest day of the year — so take your time. This is a ticketed, intimate event designed for good conversation, great food, and sharing a table with friends old and new.
