Dinner With Friends
Dinner With Friends is our series of after-hours, family-style dinners. These dinners are designed to bring guests together around a shared meal and to incorporate inspiration from the broader food world around us.
Developed by our Chef Justin Friello, each menu will focus a diverse set of dishes within a specific theme. These menus are our opportunity to get creative, flex our culinary muscles, and have a bit of fun, as much as they are meant to delight our guests. This is how we like to cook for our friends and family and how we hope to cook for you!
