Thirty guests joined us for a magical sit-down dining experience marked by simple florals, gorgeous greenery, and copper accents. The menu, carefully designed by the talented chefs of The Peached Tortilla — Eric Silverstein, Edgar Rico & Ryan Rosen — was adorned with fresh heirloom tomatoes, mapo pork bolognese, shishito kasha quail, and oh so much more. Apart from the incredible dishes that graced their palettes, guests got to enjoy two handcrafted Tito's cocktails, refreshing Richard's Rainwater, and the sultry ballads of the captivating duo behind Naala. We couldn't have asked for a better team of visionaries and artists to make dinner one one for the books.
