On Wednesday, March 19th at 6:00pm, the Log Cabin Restaurant will host its first ever “Dining in the Dark” experience featuring an 8-course tasting menu designed by Chef Painter.  The dinner costs $75 plus tax and tip, and may be booked on OpenTable.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST! THIS EVENT HAS BEEN SOLD OUT

HOW IT WORKS

Guests will be seated in our historic Cabin Room in almost complete darkness, with only a few candles to set the mood (and allow servers to navigate the room safely).  Blindfolds will be provided for a completely ‘blind’ tasting experience.

The tasting menu features eight surprise* dishes prepared by Chef Painter.  It’s up to each guest to focus in on the flavors and try to decipher the ingredients and cooking techniques before details are revealed to the group.

Wine and cocktail pairings will be available to guests a la carte, but are not required to enjoy the tasting experience.  If you would like to be seated together with friends, but booked separately on OpenTable, please contact us to let us know!.

*PLEASE NOTE:  The tasting menu includes some common allergens.  So we ask that all dietary needs are communicated clearly at least 24hrs prior to the event, so we can plan accordingly.

What a night!
