The menu

A foretaste of the kitchen.

The full menu is curated per event with the host, drawing from a working library of Coastal New England, Mediterranean, Italian, and Imperial Chinese repertoires. What follows is a handful of signatures, for sense of voice.

Portion discipline

Plates are built to one to one-and-a-quarter pounds of food per guest for a dinner — protein, sides, and finish — with a ten- to fifteen-percent buffer so the table looks abundant and no one is rushed at the end of the line. We do not under-cater, and we do not over-cater. Cocktail receptions and stations are calibrated separately, by piece count per guest per hour.

Custom to your event

Nothing on this page is a fixed package. Every menu is built with the host across one or two short conversations — your favorite dishes, the dishes the room will love, the dishes that match the room and the time of year. The library above is the starting place, not the destination.
