After my first dinner with Evenings Supper Club I knew I had to take Matt back on a date night. These kind of events are right up our alley….er, garage!
Karen came over to play with Mazen and sent us out on the town. (Sidenote: Karen went to one of the dinners by herself and had a glorious time!)
Dress: Stitch Fix.
Necklace: Girls Day Out.
Fitbit: Theodora!
We arrived to find Chef Bryan sharing the concept of Evenings surrounded by cocktails and canapés.
The signature cocktail must have been a lemonadey gin drink because it went down so easily after the hot walk there! Thirst. Quenched.
The canapés were mozzarella, tomato, basil skewers and apple, manchego and pecan bites. Loved those!
After introductions and conversation, we settled down to our table for the evening.
As always, Evenings is BOYB, and we brought a bottle to share from Virginia’s San Soucy Vineyards from this trip! {<— ahhhh Mazen was so little!}
The table was dressed in colorful glass bottles and candlelight. Love!
We began our meal with a Spring Pea Soup, Ham Hock, Carrot Panna Cotta and Parmesan Crisp
The soup was deconstructed and Chef Bryan poured it hot onto our arranged plates. Loved this tableside concept!
You wouldn’t believe it, but chef was working with such a limited kitchen in the back – a far cry from a modern industrial kitchen!
Our main course was Maple Cured Chicken Breast and Fried Chicken Thighs with Braised Cabbage in a Buttermilk Mayo. I loved the fried chicken piece – so much flavor! I also love that Chef Bryan always does two styles of one main course (last time it was pork).
The dessert course was, of course, my favorite. A deconstructed cheesecake! Blueberry Cheesecake, Lemon Whipped Cream, Crispy Filo & Dulce de Leche. Chef Bryan cooked the cheesecake sous vide and then piped it onto our plates. I loved the presentation!
Our surprise final course included some of the favorites from my last dinner:
Vanilla macaroons with Nutella
Chocolate truffles in cocoa
Honey black pepper jellies
And Peach Moonshine!
These dinners are so special and intimate. And as always the food is exceptional. We had such a great time, I am excited for when the dinners resume in the fall!
Katie @ happygokatie says
Food/drink looks amazing. And so does that dress!! I’m telling you, Stitch Fix is calling my name with all the cute outfits I’ve seen from them lately!
robin says
Is this garage owned by someone it looks like its sitting all by its self.? What does a dinner like this cost, just curious.
KathEats says
Actually the church owns it. And it’s $65 a person
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh says
That dress looks amazing on you!
Ali @ Peaches and Football says
The presentation on that pea soup is blowing my mind. Doesn’t it look like something that belongs in a cooking magazine or something? HOW FUN If they had something like that around here I would definitely be going!!
Laura@SneakersandSpatulas says
I want to coordinate a trip to Charlottesville with the night of those suppers so I can attend, they look so fun and delicious!
Shel@PeachyPalate says
Gorgeous!!! The chicken sounds divine and his presentation is immaculate
Ashley @ Coffee Cake and Cardio says
Such a fun experience! I love that y’all attend events like this.
Livi @ Eat, Pray, Work It Out says
Your hair is so long! It looks great!
Katie @ Peace Love & Oats says
so jealous of these dinners, they sound amazing! Not only the food but the ambiance seems so special and fun!
Alex @ Kenzie Life says
Ok that black dress is AMAZING on you! I want it for myself! I absolutely love it! These dinners also seem like such a fun time and I love that the atmosphere always seems very unique, and the food looks incredible!
Melanie says
One of our local (Milwaukee, WI) RSA style restaurants called ‘Braise’ has just started something very similar to this! It’s a limited space on a long table set under the stars. The price is about the same. I wanted to go, but I will be out of town for it. 🙁 Hopefully when the next one comes around, I’ll be able to reserve a spot for my hubs and me. This looks like something we’d both really be into. Thanks for sharing the evening with us!
Hannah @ CleanEatingVeggieGirl says
This is the coolest concept ever!! I’m so jealous!
sheila says
Details on the shoes please! And, do they have arch support? Dinner looks divine!
KathEats says
they are from Nine West outlet and they are super comfortable
Tracy says
What a unique place for a special evening!
You told us most of your outfit (thanks! super cute!)….where are your sandals from?
KathEats says
NiNE West Outlet!
Robyn says
Okay, this is going to be a weird comment, but what undershirt is Matt wearing? I struggle with finding the right undershirt for my husband to wear when he’s wearing an unbuttoned shirt. The v-neck is either too deep or he needs something other than white. Help?
KathEats says
Haha it’s likely Banana Republic … his favorite store
Robyn says
Ooo, I love Banana Republic for button down shirts and slacks for my husband. Don’t know why I didn’t think about their undershirts. Will have to check them out. Thanks!
Kelley says
Love the outfit! Such a fun night!
Lauren @ Focused To Be Fit says
Love that dress…I need to get hip to the Fix! I love these supper club posts – looks like such a fun and special evening!
Sandra says
Looks like a lovely evening
Kelly says
Alright, so I’m checkin out this stitch fix deal. So…you get 5 items and you only pay for them if you keep them? And other than the $20 stylist fee, there’s no other out of pocket fees or charges? I was thinking an every other month mailing would work for me, how often do you get your box? Thanks!
KathEats says
You are correct! And the $20 fee goes toward your purchases so if you buy anything you can consider it waived
Barb Dutton says
How do you like your Fitbit? I recently got a Jawbone Up and am loving it. I tried on a Fitbit, but I have such small wrists it was huge on me.
KathEats says
Post on the way!
laura says
Wow! I love these ideas of casual, yet formal dinners. The menu always sounds so intriguing, too… not stuff you’d normally see. Love that you’re able to attend! Question–are you sponsored for this, and get to attend for free in return for a write-up or do you pay and just write about it because it’s something you enjoy? Just curious! Seems as of late (no judging–know this is your “job!!”) there are a LOT of sponsored posts….
thanks for your honesty!
KathEats says
No we paid for it ourselves. If I get anything for free in exchange for blogging I always dis close that.
Ellen says
Love that the soup was poured! And the glass bottles are a great idea for a simple center piece.
Valerie says
Love that Stitchfix dress on you!
Have you tried Vain Pursuits? They’re like stitchfix but for skincare products
KathEats says
No but I’ll look them up!
