Pacific Northwest Seafood Celebration
Friday, September 13, 6 – 9 p.m.
While overlooking the Pacific Ocean, Chef Litherland presents ingredient-driven dishes from the Pacific Northwest served family-style. Prepared in an outdoor kitchen, guests can engage with chef and the culinary team, while getting a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of the evening’s delectable menu. Culinary highlights include a Raw Bar with crab claws, oysters and shrimp; Pastrami Rubbed Trout with housemade pumpernickel, smoked trout roe, crème fraiche, and pickled onions; Hickory Elk Ribs with blackberry relish; Halibut Cheek with charred leek, fennel, and wild mushrooms; and Crispy Caesar Brussel Sprouts with pancetta. To complement, wines from Oregon’s leading winery Ponzi Vineyards in the Willamette Valley will pair with the meal and for the evening, President and second-generation vintner Anna Maria Ponzi will be on-site to walk guests through the pairing experience. Finishing on a sweet note, Executive Pastry Chef Sylvain Haage will feature a selection of seasonal housemade desserts, such as Honey and White Peach Layered Cake with ice wine gelée and Speculoos crunch and Vanilla Roasted Figs with fennel caramel, brown butter crumble, and candy cap whip. Tickets are $125 per person (inclusive of tax & gratuity).
