The arc of an evening
A private dinner is paced, not rushed. Five movements, start to finish.
01
Arrival
A welcome beverage and a small bite. Guests settle in while the kitchen finishes plating.
02
First course
A farm-forward opener — often raw or lightly cured, set to wake the palate.
03
Mid courses
Two to four plated courses built around the week's farm haul and a central protein.
04
Centerpiece
A shared or signature dish that anchors the evening — the course people remember.
05
Finish
A closing sweet or savory, coffee or cacao, and a quiet send-off.
