Meet Suzette Boire 🍸🍊
Tonight’s featured cocktail for our Jacques Pépin French AF dinner! Based on the classic dish Crepes Suzette, one of Jacques Pépin’s favorite desserts to make.

🍸: butter washed gin, cognac, Grand Mariner, flambéd orange cordial, orange bitters, and lemon. Served with a burnt orange twist.

This month’s French AF series comes from the very same book that inspired much of Chef Christopher Kearse’s menu here at Forsythia: Essential Pépin from TV personality Jacques Pépin. We will be recreating familiar dishes as we pull recipes directly from the pages of the beloved French Chef’s best work. 📖

As customary, this 5-course tasting menu will have an optional wine pairing available from Christopher Godfrey with 🍷

❗️Note this date is moved up a week from our typical French AF pattern to allow us to welcome many new faces during Restaurant Week from September 8th-21st❗️

Nothing feels better than a full dining room 💛
A huge THANK YOU to everyone that celebrated our 5th anniversary with us this week. Seeing faces both familiar and fresh and sharing memories old and new— it’s why we do what we do. To many more years and meals! 🥂🍽️
