  Four-Courses, One Incredible Night!
  

  Only 100 seats! From Mozambique to Brazil, a culinary journey of your dreams. Join us in our NEW First Annual Tradition.

  
  

  “The Taste of Portugal”
  — a Fall Dinner

  We're launching what we hope becomes another of the IDESST Hall's anticipated annual tradition, and we want YOU there for the very first one. Only 100 seats available, and when they're gone, they're gone.

  An Evening That Feeds Your Soul
  (and your curiosity)

  6:00 PM | Doors Open: Step into the music of The Hot Clams  ('Ameijoas') and the kind of warm welcome our Portuguese Hall is famous for. Grab your favorite wine or beer for your table — the no host bar will stay open all evening.

  

  6:45-8:30 PM | Four Courses, Four Stories: Our chefs don't just serve dinner, they serve history. Each of the four courses has been carefully crafted by director, Jack Sherwood, and tells a different story of Portuguese culinary tradition, from the homeland to the global diaspora. Between courses, learn about our Hall's incredible legacy in Sausalito and our exciting plans ahead.

  8:30-9:00 PM | Last But Not Least: Linger, laugh, and connect with fellow community members. Take home authentic recipes and information about our upcoming new social series.

  Why This Matters
  (beyond the incredible food)

  Every ticket you purchase directly supports the Hall's ongoing programs AND launches our exciting new social series. You're not just attending an event, you're investing in our community's cultural future.

  Attire: Dressy/Cocktail (because great food deserves great style)

  With only 100 seats at intimate round tables, this will sell out. And soon. Don't be the one asking "When's the next one?"
