A Culinary Journey: Event Recap
On October 25th, Block & Rooster Provisions had the pleasure of creating an unforgettable dining experience for a wonderful group of guests. The evening began with a lively cocktail hour in the basement bar, where guests enjoyed a trio of tantalizing small bites: Seared Scallops with Remoulade, Crab Salad Spoons, and Lamb Rack Lollipops. Each bite was a perfect combination of flavor and elegance, setting the stage for the evening ahead.
As the guests moved into the living room, the night transitioned into a carefully curated four-course meal.
