Take a trip to France (figuratively) by way of L’Espalier’s dining room on Monday, June 18th. Head to the beloved Back Bay locale at 7:00pm to spend the evening exploring this diverse region via your plate and glass. A surprise guest speaker will make an appearance — details are still under wraps! — and you can expect a menu full of locally foraged ingredients from the Northeast’s day boat fisherman. Each course comes thoughtfully paired with a fabulous wine (hint: they’re from the Loire Valley). Dinner runs $110 per person — call 617.262.3023 to save your spot, or make a reservation online.
