MENU
1. Oyster Selection (or) Smoked Salmon Aromatic Crostini
Begin your evening with a curated selection of fresh oysters served on ice with classic mignonette,
or savory house-smoked salmon presented on crisp aromatic crostini with bright citrus and fresh herbs.
Paired with: Roland Champion Champagne Grand Cru Blanc de Blancs
A pure Chardonnay Champagne offering vibrant acidity, fine bubbles, and notes of lemon zest, white flowers, and chalky minerality, an elegant pairing for fresh seafood and smoked fish.
2. Tuna Tartare with Avocado, Confit Tomato & Pane Carasau
Hand-cut tuna dressed with citrus and olive oil, layered with creamy avocado and sweet confit tomatoes. Served with Pane Carasau, a delicate Sardinian crispbread for contrast and crunch.
Paired with: Domaine Leflaive Mâcon-Verzé 2023
A refined Burgundy Chardonnay with notes of pear, green apple, and acacia, lifted by clean minerality. Its freshness enhances the purity of the tuna.
3. Scallops au Gratin
Tender scallops baked under a light, golden gratin of butter, herbs, and delicate crust, warm, aromatic, and perfectly balanced.
Paired with: Jermann “Where Dreams Have No End” Chardonnay 2021
A luxurious Northern Italian Chardonnay showing ripe stone fruits, floral tones, and subtle vanilla. The wine’s texture and complexity harmonize beautifully with the rich scallops.
4. Scampi & Champagne Risotto
A creamy risotto infused with Champagne and folded with sweet, tender scampi. Light, aromatic, and finished to a velvety consistency.
Paired with: Tenute del Ciclopi Etna Rosso Feudo di Mezzo 2021
A volcanic, mineral-driven red made from Nerello Mascalese. Bright red fruit, subtle spice, and smoky notes provide a refreshing contrast to the richness of the risotto.
5. Lobster Catalonian Style
Succulent lobster cooked with garlic, tomato, and a touch of chili, inspired by coastal Catalonian flavors. Sweet seafood richness elevated by Mediterranean warmth and spice.
Paired with: Aisling Vineyard Carneros Pinot Noir 2019
An elegant Pinot Noir offering red cherry, raspberry, and soft baking spices with silky tannins. Its finesse and acidity complement the depth of the lobster and its savory sauce.
6. Panettone con Crema Pasticcera
A festive Italian classic, soft, airy panettone filled with candied fruits, gently warmed and served with velvety crema pasticcera. Comforting, aromatic, and celebratory.
Paired with: Coppo Moscato d’Asti “Moncalvina”
A delicately sparkling Moscato with aromas of white peach, honey, and orange blossom. Light sweetness and refreshing acidity make it the perfect pairing for panettone.
