"The Establishment never disappoints! When friends decided to plan a milestone birthday celebration, where to host it was a no brainer. Planning an event with Chef Elliott and Shane is like planning a party with your favorite talented cousins! They get just as pumped as you, they listen, they suggest and collaborate to create a menu that is truly unique. They helped develop an unforgettable event for the birthday girl and all her guests. From caviar bumps and freezing cold shots of vodka to surprise courses in a prix-fixe menu and superior service it wasn’t just a dinner it was a flawlessly executed experience we will all remember fondly!"
