Chef’s Table Dinners
Tantalize your taste buds and join Executive Chef Andres Jimenez at his monthly Chef’s Table Dinner. Each month, he selects a seasonal theme and, along with other chefs from his culinary team, presents a four-course tasting menu with each course showcasing a different chef’s talents as they relate to the theme.


Thursday, February 23 – Market to Table
Experience how ordinary ingredients found at any market can be turned into an extraordinary menu. Chef Jimenez showcases how it’s not the ingredients, but rather what is done with the ingredients than can make for a true culinary experience.


Thursday, March 29 – 250 Miles of Cuisine
The focus on local and regional cuisine has never been more important and, in March, Chef Jimenez creates a menu utilizing only ingredients harvested, picked or raised within 250 miles of the resort. Guests will also learn about what ingredients are available within the region and how they can be turned into an amazing menu.


Thursday, April 19 – Mushrooms, Mushrooms, Mushrooms
Few ingredients are as versatile as the mushroom. Mushrooms are low in calories, fat-free, cholesterol-free and very low in sodium and, can also be featured as a dessert. In April, Chef Jimenez presents four wild mushrooms expertly prepared four different ways. A must eat experience.


Thursday June 28 – A Sneak Peek of Summer
June 20 is the first official day of summer. Chefs Jimenez and his team prepare a Chef’s Table that offers a sneak peek on the benefits of additional sunlight. Experience dishes from the year’s best season (in the Chef’s opinion) for fresh, healthy, light produce and ingredients that will tempt the palate all summer long.
