This Farm to Table Dinner is sold out.
Join us March 4th, Fat Tuesday, for a Louisiana inspired Mardi Gras feast. Chef Matt Steigerwald, formerly of Lincoln Café and Wilson’s Ciderhouse, will be serving a multi-course dinner starting with cocktail hour snacks and featuring NOLA inspired cocktails.
Bonus: We’ll be doing a traditional King Cake for dessert and the five lucky attendees who get the classic baby figurine in their cake will be entered into a drawing for a Turducken!
