The date has been set for the first dinner Speakeasy experience of the year!
Join us for our a collaborative event with special guest chef Jessica Dittly, owner of Terroir General Store in Lockport, NY. Jessica is drawing her inspiration for this 6-course tasting menu from the terroir of WNY - leaning on anything that can be foraged during the late spring and found swiftly on farm stands around our area. This menu is for those looking to be delighted by a unique experience and those with a sense for culinary adventure. The following is a sketch of that night’s menu:
Course 1: Late Spring Pakora
Course 2: Asparagus and Hostas
Course 3: Escargot & Mushrooms
Course 4: Spruce Tip and Lime Posset
Course 5: Homemade Pasta
Course 6: Chocolate Budino & Coffee Dessert
Our guest chef will accomodate all dietary restrictions - please note as such in the comments when you purchase your tickets.
The experience is meant to be one that hearkens back to the speakeasies of the 1920s - the time that the Shirt Factory was booming under ownership of Robert Newell. Scott, Chris, and Jessica have teamed up to set the backdrop for an unforgettable evening to be enjoyed by candlelight and the sounds of the roaring '20s. All windows will be draped to ensure the privacy of our clients.
Tickets are available to purchase on our online store (https://shirtfactorymedina.square.site/) and your ticket includes a 6 course chef’s tasting menu. All cocktails are available for purchase A LA CARTE that evening. Dinner begins at 8pm, but guests are invited to arrive as early as 7:30 to enjoy drinks before being seated for dinner.
Other details:
For the first time ever, we are opening our Speakeasy to walk-ins from the hours of 4-7 to enjoy bar seating and our one-night only specialty cocktail menu before our ticketed dinner guests arrive.
For our TICKETED DINNER GUESTS:
All seats in our back room will be reserved and all clients will be received at the back door (the ramp entrance) beginning at 7:30 for dinner. The door will remain locked otherwise.
The dress code is dress to impress/cocktail attire, and we always encourage our guests to have a bit of fun and dress to the 1920s era. The cocktails are exclusive to this one evening, and the 6 course menu has been curated to complement the cocktails.
All ticketed guests will receive an email confirmation the day prior to the event with a secret password to present at the time of your arrival, in addition to other pertinent information.
