courses in love & humor

A Valentine’s Day Dining Experience

SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14TH AT 6PM

Courses in Love & Humor is a one-night Valentine’s Day experience designed to be savored from the first course to the final laugh. This intimate evening brings together an elevated, chef-driven multi-course dinner and live entertainment throughout the night to create a seamless, hosted experience that goes far beyond a traditional dinner reservation.

Our culinary team has crafted a refined prix fixe menu that showcases our wedding catering kitchen at its most inspired, highlighting thoughtful technique, seasonal ingredients, and intentional pacing. Each course is designed to complement the flow of the evening, with entertainment woven in to keep the experience engaging, romantic, and memorable.

Last year’s event sold out, and this year’s experience has been refined to deliver an even more polished evening to showcase of the level of hospitality, cuisine, and atmosphere our team brings to weddings, private events, and catered celebrations year-round.

One night only. Limited seating available. Tickets must be purchased online in advance.
