One-Night-Only Watermelon Menu

tchara/canva

See what the talented twosome at Forage – that’s chef-owner Eric Cooper and co-owner and General Manager Stan Hilbert – do with one of summer’s unsung heroes at their upcoming watermelon themed dinner on Tuesday, August 30th.

The pair have brought their collective skill to bear on the evening’s four-course prix fixe (which is available in omnivore- and vegetarian-friendly versions) and accompanying wine pairings. You can expect match-ups like chilled soup with carrot gravlax and creme fraiche with the 2021 Grillo “Cala Iancu”; and a watermelon fool made with raw pulp, candied rind and watermelon skin custard with Henriques & Henriques Madeira (scope out the menu in its entirety below).

Scoop up a spot in their air conditioned dining room or out on their patio for this end-of-the-season celebration. Dinner costs $95 per person if you’d like to dine at the restaurant (reservations are available online here) or $160 for two people if you’d prefer to pick up your dinner and enjoy it at home (place your take-out order online here). Call 617.576.5444 with any questions.
