Beaver Moon | Full Moon Dinner Series
A warm and gracious close to a season of exceptional dinners
The Beaver Moon dinner brings the Full Moon Dinner Series to its close with a menu that settles into the comfort of deep autumn — pumpkin soup with crème fraîche, duck breast over sweet potato dauphinoise, and a silky vanilla pot de crème to finish. Throughout the year, the series has brought guests together monthly for multi-course dinners inspired by the full moon and the season at hand, and this final gathering carries that spirit warmly into the next season. An optional sommelier-selected wine pairing package is available as a fitting final toast to a remarkable series.
Tickets
$80 per person
Add-on wine pairings for $50 per person
Tax and gratuity are additional. Ages 16 and up.
