The Francophile Cocktail Dinner Experience: An Official Tales Spirited Dinner

We’ll look back at some of the most important historical and anecdotal stories and lures that surround France, while enjoying the amazing food from Chef Matt Siliati. Libations will be curated and served by the dynamic duo that is Jonathan Pogash, founder and owner of The Cocktail Guru, and Star Hodgson, Cafe Amelie Managing Partner, rockstar mixologist, and dear friend of The Guru Team.

While you dine, you may relax and endulge to the sounds of our live jazz trio.

A Burlesque performance by the amazing Bella Blue did you say? Oui!

To begin the experience, an Aperitif cocktail will be served, followed by a four-course menu, each paired with a different unique drink.

Note: the dinner will be held indoors.
