A little something sweet and an infusion from the garden will close the menu. Answering our pre-visit questions allows us to tailor your experience. We ask that you please honor your reservation time. The flow of the service allows for a 1.5 - 2-hour experience. We reclaim our dining room to prepare for the evening at 2:45.
