March Reserve Dinner at Westminster Place

"The Art of Cooking" was the the theme for the Reserve Dinner at Westminster Place in March. We had 19  residents and guests in attendance, and had high expectations for the dinner since this was my first one as Executive Chef.  We paired  each course with a suitable wine and completed the dinner with a standing ovation.  We have been hosting the Reserve Dinner for almost two and half years and each time the bar is set higher.  The residents enjoy seeing our creativity and are able to try food they wouldn't normally see on our regular menu.  A special thank you to Kristine Baral for doing an exceptional job serving each course and explaining the wine selection.
