Culture, of Course!

Your $125 ticket includes entertainment provided by renowned jazz composer, conductor, and pianist Gordon Lee, along with a delicious four-course dinner crafted by some of the coast’s favorite culinary talents. Begin the night with an appetizer from The Red Roof Munchery, followed by a fresh salad from Neskowin Provisions, a memorable main course from Side Door Cafe, rolls from Fish Tails Cafe, and a sweet finale from My Petite Sweet.
