Prepared by Corporate Executive Chef Saul Ortiz, the three-course dinner will begin with spicy crab cakes breaded in panko and made with roasted poblano, bell peppers and corn with cilantro and chipotle aioli paired with a Maestro Dobel tequila shot. For the main course, guests may choose between a Lamb Shank topped with mole verde or Red Snapper a la talla made with Hawaiian red snapper and topped with achiote and an herbs spice rub with a hint of lime aioli.
