We’re planning a whole summer series of our popular themed chef evenings. On specified Monday nights we will close the restaurant except to those with reservations, we’ll feature live music, wine pairings, and have fun exploring our creative whims.

May 23: 1989 Dinner - a homage to the era of towering, architectural food. Expect ingredients piled high in the style of Alfred Portale, of NYC’s Gotham Bar and Grill. There’ll be other elements of 1989 too – in fact, Chef Francisco has already grown a pony-tail for the event.

June 13: Foie Gras Dinner - it’s not for everyone, but truth is, foie gras is just about my favorite food. You may already have tried our foie-gras cookie-dough ice-cream…you know we’re gonna dream up some fun variations for this.

July 18: Escoffier Classics Dinner – great dishes from the classic French cook book. Unmissable.

Aug 22: Pan-Asian Flavor! – Asian flavor? At Olivia? Look, Chef Francisco grew up in Malaysia, and loves playing with Asian spices. We thought we’d indulge him, help get it out of his system. We’re excited about pairing his food (and kidding aside – we’ve tasted some of his Asian cooking at family meal, and it’s awesome) with some great wines from Alsace.
