Date Night: Summer in France with Chef Wendi James
Summer in France is a particular kind of pleasure — unhurried meals, beautiful produce at its peak, the gentle art of doing things well rather than quickly. Chef Wendi James channels exactly that spirit in an evening of French summer cooking that’s as relaxed and convivial as the season itself.
Menu:
- Fig & Olive Tartine
- Seared Tuna with Orange Beurre Blanc
- Ratatouille & Chevre Gratin
- Vanilla Panna Cotta with Macerated Strawberries & Basil Syrup
NOTE: One ticket is for two people
