Join us at Lumen8 and celebrate the holidays in an elevated fashion! Indulge in a refined three-course prix fixe dinner celebrating peak-seasonal ingredients, with the option of expertly curated wine pairings. The evening opens with your choice of a vibrant Seasonal Duck Salad, layered with shaved fennel, winter citrus, and cranberry vinaigrette, or a chilled Dublin Bay Shrimp Salad featuring frisée, roasted beets, and bright Meyer lemon—each complemented by a nuanced rosé. For the main course, choose between the Prime Beef Duo, presenting filet and strip enriched with truffled potato and Hatch chimichurri, or the Roasted Faroe Island Salmon, served with rainbow Swiss chard and crowned with Tzar Nicolai caviar—beautifully paired with Pinot Noir or Sauvignon Blanc to enhance each dish’s character. The experience concludes with a luxurious Tres Leches finished with fig port compote and a celebratory pour of sparkling wine. Truly a soireé not to be missed, we're excited to celebrate with you!
