Celebrate The Sweet Life
A chilly Spring has me longing for a tropical vacation. One way to get a little taste of the islands in our own backyard is to dine at Roy's. Chef Roy Yamaguchi is one of the most influential and well-respected Hawaiian chefs. His style of fusion cuisine combines Asian, French and Hawaiian ingredients and techniques. He is Hawaii's first James Beard award-winner and this year his restaurants are celebrating their 20th year with special dinners. Tomorrow's 20th anniversary dinner takes place at the San Francisco Roy's, with Roy at the helm. Local and Hawaiian ingredients will be featured with a particular emphasis on sustainable seafood and a portion of proceeds will go to Grow for Good, a national initiative dedicated to supporting local farms and encouraging sustainable agriculture. amuse buche Shiro-Shoyu Marinated Kona Kampachi "Nigiri" sustainable princess conch, tri-color tobiko & Kumamoto oysters Perrier Jouet Grand Brut first course Kona Lobster Ceviche California avocado and halibut turtle shell, organic watermelon radish, Cara Cara oranges Jacob's Creek Riesling second course Organic Sausalito Springs Watercress & Red Kaiware Sprout Salad goat cheese, Sparrow Lane Napa walnut vinaigrette Brancott Sauvignon Blanc third course Japanese Wagyu Topped Niman Ranch Top Sirloin Delta asparagus, red Irish potatoes, Sebastopol mushrooms Jacob's Creek Reserve Shiraz fourth course Hawaiian Vanilla & Rum Infused "Baba" Berkeley Farms sweet cream Sandeman Tawny 20 Year Port What: Roy's 20th Anniversary Dinner Cost: Tickets are $100 (excludes tax & gratuity) When: Thursday April 10th, Seating from 5:00 to 9:30 pm Where:Roy's is located at 575 Mission Street in San Francisco More: The evening will also include performance by Hawaiian dancers and Patrick Landeza How: To make your reservation for this special event, please call 415.777.0277 Another sweet event, literally, is a pairing of wine and chocolate at local chocolate shop, Cocoa Bella.
