SPANISH OIL DIP

Choose between sourdough and whole grain bread. You can use both types for variety.

Select the Bread

Place the slices of bread in a toaster or on a grill. Toast until golden brown and crispy, usually about 3-5 minutes depending on the toaster.

Toast the Bread

Leave the unsalted butter out at room temperature for about 30 minutes until soft.

Soften the Butter

In a medium bowl, add the softened butter, honey, and sea salt. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until it's light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes.

Whip the Butter

Once the bread is toasted, place it on a serving plate.

Plate the Toast

Spread a generous amount of the whipped butter on each slice of warm toast.

Add Whipped Butter

Place jars of strawberry, blueberry, and apricot jams on the table for guests to enjoy with their toast.

Indulge in a refined three-course prix fixe dinner celebrating peak-seasonal ingredients, with the option of expertly curated wine pairings.

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!

Christmas Eve Soireé

La Nuit D’élégance at Lumen8 begins with an artful amuse bouche of house-cured Scottish salmon nestled atop delicate puff pastry, finished with crème fraîche, caviar, and a whisper of dill—an opening bite crafted to awaken the palate. The première course follows with a vibrant lobster salad, combining root vegetables, avocado, frisée, and parsley, all brightened by a Meyer lemon vinaigrette. This course is elevated by the refreshing precision of a Dönnhoff Niederhäuser Klamm Kabinett Riesling 2022. For the entrée, guests may select between two refined preparations. The prime filet is accompanied by confit potatoes, salsify, and shaved Brussels sprouts, all enriched with a deep Barolo glaze and paired with a Siduri Pinot Noir 2023. Alternatively, the Northwest truffle-spiked sturgeon offers a luxurious pairing of patty-pan squash and crisp crudité vegetables, finished with White Star caviar butter and complemented by a Bravium Chardonnay 2024. The evening concludes with a petite Viennese platter, a Lumen 8 signature creation featuring opera cake, macaroons, and peppermint cheesecake. This sweet finale is served alongside a classic Port, bringing the experience to a warm and indulgent close.
