FIRST
Wild Mushroom Composition
A delicate arrangement of foraged mushrooms prepared three ways: thinly sliced carpaccio, concentrated essence, and crisp chips. Accompanied by smoked cultured butter, preserved forest berries, and seeded crackers. Garnished with woodland herbs, pine-infused oil, and edible flowers. A celebration of autumn's mycological treasures.
SECOND
Roasted Pumpkin Velouté
Velvety soup of slow-roasted heirloom pumpkin with notes of browned butter and warm spices. Topped with a slow-poached hen's egg, toasted pumpkin seed oil, crispy sage, and brioche croutons. Finished with a whisper of aged balsamic and freshly grated nutmeg. A warming tribute to fall's most iconic ingredient.
THIRD
Harvest Mosaic
Tender roasted autumn vegetables—including rainbow carrots, golden beets, and delicata squash—served over a bed of ancient grains with jewel-like pomegranate seeds, candied walnuts, and preserved citrus. Dressed with aged vinegar reduction and finished with toasted spices and fresh herbs. A vibrant celebration of fall's abundant harvest.
FOURTH
Game & Ember
Perfectly cooked venison loin and slow-braised duck leg with notes of juniper and warming spices, served with sweet potato purée and spiced fruit chutney. Accompanied by wilted seasonal greens, roasted alliums, and a rich reduction sauce deepened with blackberries. A sophisticated approach to autumn's traditional game season.
FIFTH
Orchard Pear Composition
Poached local pears in mulled wine, layered with spiced gingerbread, brown butter crémeux, and maple-chestnut cream. Accompanied by candied pecans, crisp tuile, and a quenelle of bourbon-vanilla ice cream. A refined celebration of fall's orchard bounty, balancing elegance with nostalgic comfort.
