chef’s counter

Our Chef’s Counter experience offers a five-course, chef-driven tasting menu presented tableside by Executive Chef Brandon Hurley and team every Tuesday & Wednesday. Intimate and immersive, this experience invites guests to dine at the edge of the kitchen, where each plate is prepared just for you—and every course tells a story.

seasonal installments

The Chef’s Counter will evolve with the seasons, rotating through four distinct themes inspired by the classical elements: Sea, Land, Fire, and Air. Each installment explores the ingredients, techniques, and traditions that bring these elements to life through the lens of Northern Italian cuisine.

This summer

Chef’s Counter sets sail for the sea.
Sotto Mare is a tasting journey inspired by the soul of the Italian coast—where sea meets sun. Drawing from the vibrant flavors, textures, and traditions of Italy's coastal regions, each dish is a tribute to fresh fish, bright ingredients, and a true celebration of the sea.
