St. André Triple Cream Brie with Fig Crostinis


A buttery, luscious St. André triple cream brie on crisp crostinis, with a touch of sweet fig for harmony.


Paired with Hubert Meyer Crémant d'Alsace Rosé NV, offering vibrant red fruit notes that cut through the rich, creamy cheese.


Grilled Romaine Caesar


A modern take on Caesar salad, featuring char-grilled romaine hearts drizzled in creamy dressing, finished with shaved Parmesan and rustic croutons.


Paired with Gerard & Hubert Thirot Sancerre 2022, a mineral-driven Sauvignon Blanc with fresh citrus and herbal undertones that complement the salad's savory depth.


Pan-Seared Hokkaido Scallop


Delicately seared, tender Hokkaido scallops, enhanced by a subtle sauce that elevates their ocean-fresh sweetness.


Paired with Sylvain Bzikot Bourgogne Côte d'Or Chardonnay 2021, balancing ripe orchard fruit, soft oak, and minerality to harmonize with the scallops.


Oyster Mushroom ‘Coq au Vin’


Succulent oyster mushrooms in a rich red wine reduction, flavored with garlic and herbs, a plant-based twist on a classic.


Paired with Vincent & Jean-Pierre Charton Mercurey Vieilles Vignes 2022, a silky Pinot Noir with earthy red berry notes that mirror the dish’s depth.


Colorado Grass-Fed Lamb Chop


Juicy Colorado lamb, grilled to perfection, served with seasonal vegetables and fresh herbs.


Paired with Domaine Galevan Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2021, a bold Rhône wine layered with dark fruit, spice, and a lingering finish.


Crème de Lait


A silky panna cotta adorned with seasonal fruit compote and fresh berries, ending the meal on a smooth, sweet note.


Paired with Château Pierre Bise Côteaux du Layon 1er Cru Chaume 2016, a honeyed dessert wine with hints of apricot, peach, and a bright acidity.
