On Wednesday, February 6th, drop in to Post 390 for a four-course dinner that definitely won’t leave you feeling sluggish. They’re kicking off another year of Farm-to-Post dinners with a menu celebrating local roasters, including nuts, chocolate, and coffee. Come chat with the roasters from Q’s Nuts, Gracenote, Barisimo Coffee, Vivra Chocolate and Flat Black over a cocktail reception full of nutty, chocolaty, coffee-y goodies (and a unique coffee tasting) followed by four wine-paired courses including charred coffee-braised octopus and rack of lamb with coffee and spice. You’ll leave feeling satisfied and energized; tickets are $55, available this way.
