A Five Course Culinary & Cigar Experience at Vintage Tavern
Step into a night built around indulgence, rarity, and the things you’re not supposed to have. The Forbidden Dinner is a one night only experience where each course explores ingredients that have been banned, restricted, elusive, or simply unattainable at one point in time.
From delicate uni and caviar to legendary cuts of beef and a reimagined songbird course, this menu is designed to push boundaries while staying rooted in refined technique and elevated hospitality.
Each course is thoughtfully paced and paired with elements that challenge tradition, including a refreshing intermezzo and a dessert featuring tonka bean, an ingredient long restricted in the United States.
**Cigar Smoking will be before and after dinner hour
**$175 per person plus tax & gratuity.
**All Dinner tickets include two cigars thoughtfully sponsored by Alexander Fine Jewelery
For those looking to take the experience even further, we are offering a curated drink pairing built specifically for The Forbidden Dinner.
This pairing features...
-two craft cocktails
-a glass of grand cru champagne
-three rare 12 year bourbons, each selected for their depth, age, and character. These are not everyday pours. Expect layered profiles of oak, caramelized sugar, spice, and long, warming finishes that evolve with each course. Each bourbon will be served as a 1 oz pour, thoughtfully matched to the middle courses to enhance and contrast the flavors of the dish without overpowering them.
The evening begins and ends with crafted cocktails, designed to complement the first and final courses, tying the entire experience together from start to finish.
This is a pairing built for guests who appreciate aged spirits, balance, and the nuance that only time in barrel can create.
