May’s Fireside Dinner with Chef Jonathon Sawyer is his birthday, so we are turning up the heat a bit! Florida Stone Crab, Caviar, Ike Jime Fluke, A5 Wagyu Block Steak, and more.

Did you know Stone Crab ends in late May?
We’ll have some of the last fresh stone crab until next October.

The festivities kick off with a welcome cocktail at 6:00 PM, followed by supper at 6:30 PM. Optional beverage pairings will be available to keep the spirits high, but with seating limited to just 18 guests, you’ll want to grab your spot at the table fast.

Optional beverage pairings will be available. Seating is limited for an intimate night by the fire.

From March 12th through March 17th, we’re teaming up with our good friend Danny Raskin and Manny’s Deli for a wood-fired spin on a St. Patrick’s Day classic: The Reuben. 

Our take features hand-carved Manny’s corned beef, melted raclette cheese, gochujang-spiced Russian dressing, kimchi, & kraut… all piled high on rye bread and served with a kosher pickle.

The hearth is staying red hot through the holidays. Settle in for a warm festive evening that leans into comforts of the season. Miso-glazed smoky Berkshire pork ribs to start, winter bright flavors throughout, and the kind of glow that makes the holiday season feel even brighter.
