Independent Restaurant Coalition Tables for Change Dinner

Join Rioja chef Jennifer Jasinski and her husband, Culinary Creative Group Chief Culinary Officer Max Mackissock for this very special dinner. Chef Jen grew up in and around the lush Santa Barbara hills and this collaboration will showcase all the area has to offer. Think spiny lobsters, tri tip beef, Santa Barbara sea urchin and more. Our wine team will dig deep for special California coastal wines to pair with the menu. Your ticket price includes a donation to the Independent Restaurant Coalition celebrating Independent Restaurant & Bar Month
