Enjoy a creamy and refreshing regular-sized strawberry shake made with ripe strawberries and smooth vanilla ice cream.

Strawberry Shake, regular size

Start by preheating your toaster or oven. Toast the sourdough and whole wheat bread slices until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3-5 minutes depending on your appliance.

Toast the Bread

In a mixing bowl, add the unsalted butter, honey, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture until it becomes light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Set aside.

Prepare Whipped Butter

Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous amount of whipped butter on each slice. Serve alongside jars of strawberry, blueberry, and apricot jam for guests to enjoy.

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.

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.
