On the plant-based side, The Curious Herbivore platter is an enticing array of buffalo cauliflower and falafel, among other vegetarian wonders.

Complement your meal with engaging conversation and today's soup bowl, or opt for a satisfying main that comfortably fills the air with anticipation. When evening arrives, end on a high note with a dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth.
