From 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. there will be a splash table with complimentary wine tastings of the Nouveau and from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. there will be live music. All prices exclude tax and gratuity.

The prix fixe menu will be comprised of Duck Pithivier, housemade duck sausage in pastry; Bœuf “Short Rib” Bourguignon, 24-hour Beaujolais marinated beef short ribs, aromatic vegetables, bacon lardons, pearl onions and mushrooms; and Gâteau a La Poire, chocolate cake filled with vanilla poached pear, caramel cream and a Beaujolais reduction.

Beaujolais Nouveau is a traditional French holiday celebrated on the third Thursday of November every year to herald the release of Beaujolais Nouveau wine. Made from the Gamay grape, the wine is similar to a light bodied Pinot Noir and has fresh, fruity flavors that pair well with autumn dishes.
