Parties of two choose one salad, one stir-fry and one curry as their main.
In signature style, Maenam’s desserts put the “sweet” in Saint Valentine with dark chocolate pot de crème—sea salt, tamarind tuile, and tamarind semifreddo; and their vanilla passion fruit pannacotta, a passion fruit jelly with passion fruit ice cream and cashew praline.
To compliment the specialized menu, guests will select beverages from an inspired cocktail card, informed beer list and an extensive offering of wine. Details after the leap… Read more
