Surf & Turf, Steaks and Stogies Dinner

Set for an elegant night of indulgence, guests will begin the experience in the Emerald Room, where no-host cocktails and a sophisticated selection of appetizers set the tone:

· Bruschetta with toast points

· Kielbasa wrapped in puff pastry with nine-grain mustard dipping sauce

· Mozzarella and tomato skewers with balsamic drizzle

To complement the appetizers, guests will enjoy DAOU Paso Robles Rosé, a vibrant wine known for its floral aromas and bright fruit notes — a perfect prelude to what’s to come.

From there, the evening transitions to the Club California Patio, where diners will be seated for an unforgettable culinary journey.

Dinner Menu:

· Starter: Shrimp Louie Salad served with warm sourdough rolls

· Entrée: Surf & Turf – Filet mignon paired with a tender lobster tail, served with root vegetables and cottage herbed potatoes

· Alternate Entrée: Oven-roasted chicken (for those who prefer)

Dinner will be beautifully paired with Angeline Pinot Noir from Mendocino County — a light, clean wine with notes of sliced strawberry and citrus, offering a refined, authentic Pinot character.

To finish the evening, guests will indulge in Espresso Chip Coffee Ice Cream served on a decadent chocolate fudge cookie, providing a sweet and satisfying close to the meal.

The entire experience — wine, food, service, and ambiance — is offered at $75 per person, inclusive of tax and tip. And for those who wish to extend the evening with a fine cigar, Tony’s Fine Cigars will be on-site offering premium selections. Guests are also welcome to bring their own cigars. Non-smokers are equally welcome to enjoy the festivities.
