Elegance continues at your named table draped with ivory linen and set with period China, candles, and flowers. Choose the Astor, Vanderbilt, Rockefeller, or Rothchild. After the wine is poured, expertly prepared, succulent tri-tip will be plated with fresh green-bean almondine, Waldorf salad, and artisan rolls.
