The three-course seated dinner menu consisted of:

Finished with a roasted red pepper sauce and served with garlic mashers and fresh grilled asparagus.
Peach Cobbler a la mode Our homemade peach cobbler served with cinnamon ice cream
A coffee bar was also provided – giving guests to option to customize their latte or freshly brewed coffee to their preference. Cappuccino, anyone?
