Sample Heavy Appetizer Menu

Hors d'oeuvres

The goal of a heavy appetizer party is to ensure no one goes hungry so it can be a great substitute for a sit down dinner. The chef will work with you to provide a good range of appetizer options - vegetarian/vegan, chicken, beef, pork and seafood/fish. All appetizers and desserts are served with the highest degree of food and guest safety.

Apples & Brie Mini Tart

Apples are cooked down with fresh thyme and then combined with a bit of brie; served in a small puff pastry tart and baked (V)

Tri Tip Sliders

Tri tip, cooked sous vide to a perfect medium rare in a house made focaccia roll with horseradish cream and blue cheese spread

Chicken McChips

Chicken breast nugget rolled in crushed salt & pepper potato chips and served with dijon honey cream and a buffalo wing sauce (GF)

Seashells

Shrimp, roasted corn, red peppers, cilantro combine with cream cheese and are served in a tortilla cup (GF)

Maui Ahi Poke

Sushi grade ahi tuna lightly marinated in a soy/sesame sauce, served on a Maui onion potato chip with a chunk of fresh avocado (GF)

Pecan Sliders

Half pecans are house candied in a light maple syrup and then topped with a goat cheese/cream cheese spread (GF, V)

Specialty Cocktails

And what's a heavy appetizer/dessert party without a great specialty cocktail. Having a specialty cocktail can reduce/eliminate the need to stock a full or even a limited bar

Sneaky Pete's

Freshly squeezed Meyer lemon juice from the chef's garden, simple syrup and Grey Goose vodka make this martini out of this world... they are called Sneaky Pete's for a reason! (Seasonal)

Gin Tonic

This is not your dive bar gin & tonic. This is done in the Spanish style in a big wine glass and garnished with cucumber, juniper berries, rosemary and a lime wedge. The gin is your choice.
