A Mid-Summer Night's Feast

A Midsummer Night’s Table is a whimsical culinary journey inspired by Shakespeare’s enchanted forest, a place where fairies feast, lovers wander, and nothing is quite as it seems. This multi-course tasting menu brings that world to life through imaginative, seasonal dishes that shimmer with edible flowers, vibrant fruit, woodland herbs, and a touch of theatrical flair. Every course is a brushstroke in a midsummer canvas: from golden beets that evoke enchanted sunsets to violet plum sorbets and “Puck’s Pavlova” spun from meringue and moonlight. Created to delight, surprise, and transport, this dinner invites you to taste the wild beauty of a dream brought to table. Let the forest spell unfold… and follow it, course by course, into a night of wonder.
