The dinner was incredible! The collaboration among the three chefs was amazing, while all of the courses was presented in Chef Cimarusti’s standard and style, the signatures of Chefs Ricker and Yenbamroong shown through each of their courses - it was seamless! I especially enjoyed the transition into the final Thai style entrees - it was very clever to have us going into the kitchen for the entremet and to meet the chefs, which in itself was very special, our table was transformed to be just like the one at Night + Market when we got back. It was very evident that so much thought and planning have gone into the making of this dinner - thank you chefs But then again this is Chef Cimarusti’s Providence ps: the wine pairing was superb
