The evening starts with a specialty cocktail, Yquem Bubbles (Champagne Taittinger and Château Yquem Sauterne), and Kai-Kai Farm strawberry; $25 a glass.

As delectable as it is impressive, a show-stopping wheel of Parmigiano Reggiano is sure to make a statement as lobster and Cognac spaghetti are flambéed inside the hallowed out, 36- month aged cheese bowl. Made in the Emilia Romagna region of Italy, this aromatic Parmigiano Reggiano weighs approximately 80 pounds—plenty of decadence for all Valentine revelers! This course is priced at $120 per couple.
The indulgence continued with dessert. Grand Marnier pot de crème, flamed at the table, to share served with two spoons; $20 for 2 people.
The regular menu is available and all sharing courses are priced by the dish. Tax and gratuity are not included. Reservations are strongly suggested.
