Course 3

Mad Hatter’s Tea Garden Chicken — Chamomile-brined roasted chicken, tender and aromatic, crowned with a silky lemon-thyme cream sauce. Served over pistachio couscous studded with rainbow carrots and finished with playful swirls of vegetable purée.

Course 4

Queen’s Ruby Filet — A regal beef tenderloin, perfectly seared and bathed in a luscious red wine–black cherry reduction. Served with roasted baby beets and golden heart potatoes, this majestic plate rules the table with elegance and bold flavor.

Course 5

Cheshire Cat’s Invisible Cake – A delightfully mysterious confection that seems to vanish with every bite. Light, delicate layers melt into a subtly sweet, custard- like texture. Round out a purrfectly curious evening with this disappearing finale.
