Mellon Center’s The Carlton Restaurant is hosting a unique food and wine tasting event tomorrow evening, which will give attendees the chance to vote on potential new menu items.
At The Carlton’s Food and Wine Event, guests will sip around 15 different wines, and taste samples of six new potential menu offerings from executive chef Simon DeJohn. You can then ‘vote’ for your favorite new dish by ordering it for your featured entrée for the evening.
The event is $79 per person with wine pairings, or $59 per person without.
Here’s a peek at the six new dishes that diners can choose from:
- Mediterranean Stuffed Pepper: Sweet Bell pepper stuffed with tomatoes, capers, olives, spinach, artichokes, brown rice, creamy Feta and toasted pine nuts
- Black Sea Bass: Oven-roasted and served over braised Belgian Endive, with acorn squash, sweet corn succotash, and gooseberry vinaigrette
- Wagyu Beef Cheese: Slow-braised beef cheeks, served with three beet risotto, port-infused morel mushrooms, baby arugula, tomato concasse and pan jus reduction
- Ahi Tuna: Honey-Sesame seared Ahi served chilled over Bamboo Rice with sweet and spicy green tea and leek broth, braised red cabbage, and crushed wasabi peas
- Lamb Loin: Olive oil and rosemary-brushed lamb loin, pan-roasted and served with a pumpkin-millet cake, rapini-Swiss chard-kale sauté, chimichurri sauce, and toasted Pepitas
