The venue is stunning: a private room, the 1st Amendment, offering us views overlooking the White House, Treasury Building, Willard Hotel, and other historic downtown landmarks.  What a terrific opportunity for a very special evening with friends and family!  Let’s hope for a light dusting of snow to really set the festive evening mood.

The evening begins at 7PM with passed hors d’oeuvres paired with one of our favorite Sekts.

Chicken and Lemongrass Potstickers, Bacon and Manchego-stuffed Dates, and Country Tri-meat Pâté with green peppercorns on toast.

Henkell Riesling

The evening continues when we are seated at 7:30PM

A starter of Arugula, Cilantro, and Mushroom Salad with Goat Cheese and Candied Walnuts – a visual as well as culinary feast!
