After this savory highlight, you’ll be treated to a carefully selected dessert that complements the dinner’s flavors, offering a balance of sweetness and texture that highlights regional specialties.

The night doesn’t end there. As dusk deepens, you’ll step into a cozy Irish pub where the atmosphere tightens into conviviality.
