Begin the evening with a specialty Valentine’s Day cocktail – a Tangerine Bellini made with Prosecco, Grand Marnier, and tangerine purée or a Crema Di Lampone Martini made with Absolut Vanilla vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream, and raspberry liquor finished with a cocoa nib tuile.

Choose from mouthwatering appetizers including yellowtail crudo in a pomegranate-fennel dressing and seared fois gras in a pineapple-citrus conserva with toasted brioche. Then, please your palette with decadent risotto with crab, hand-rolled Trofie pasta with rock shrimp, pan-seared halibut in a ginger-romaine broth, or bone-in grilled veal chop with porcini mushrooms, potatoes, and late harvest radicchio salad.
