Harvest Your Senses- SAMPLE’s Beer Dinner Returns

Harvest Your Senses- SAMPLE’s Beer Dinner Returns

Story Options

Oct 14th, 10:08am By Buffalo Foodie

After a brief summer hiatus, SAMPLE’s Supper Club resumes in a few weeks. The monthly occasion returns with an eye on the season and an appreciation for quality beer.

For the uninitiated, SAMPLE’s Supper Club features a “food forward” six course feast that tempts the taste buds and the imagination. If Chef Adam Goetz’s thoughtful and refined contemporary menu isn’t enough to tempt you, perhaps the pairing of exquisite beers with each course will seal the deal. Last season's beer dinner was a stunning success, so I suggest you make reservations and pencil this engagement into your calendar right away.

I attend Supper Club regularly as the food is not only delicious and unrivaled by most area restaurants, but the experience is also memorable. Tables converse with one another and an overall feeling of luxury, community and celebration can be felt in the chic and cozy Allentown restaurant.

This month's dinner takes place on Sunday, October 26th with seatings available at a variety of times over the course of the evening. Supper Club requires reservations and is $60 per person plus tax and gratuity.

    Sample has been a favorite spot for me since it's opened. If it wasn't obvious enough, that's me in the green hat...

    While this sounds like a fantastic evening, I don't think I would list Sam Smith's and Lindeman's as "exquisite".

    So, conveniently no comment about the Rochefort or Ayinger? Considering the amount of Labatt Blue this city consumes, Samuel Smith's should do just fine to most as a high end beer.

    Story Image It's great to see stylish, hip, new restaurants pop up downtown such as Sea Bar on Ellicott Street, which specializes in contemporary Japanese food. A clean ultra-modern space, Sea Bar’s dining room is quaint and inviting. The sleek sushi bar has counter seating and the wet bar, with beer, sake, and wine, has at least 10 sakes to choose from on any given night. We were happy to try a Sojitio, a sake mojito, which had the right amount of mint without too much sweetness. Sea B …

    Story Image Ten years ago, the downtown of My Fair City was forever altered when a Big Dinosaur appeared on the scene. Thankfully—unlike 1950’s Tokyo—when this dino showed up our downtown wasn’t flattened, but considerably improved. Dinosaur Bar B Que, a restaurant that originated in downtown Syracuse in the 1980’s, planted its foot in downtown Rochester in 1998. It was an instant hit—it’s common to have a line waiting to get in at all times. And it’s clearly Hog Heaven— …

    Story Image Cecelia’s Ristorante & Martini Bar is prepared to guide their guests through the tastes of fall with their brand new fall menu. Although it is getting a bit too cold for the patio, the hardy food inside will warm things right up. I started out with the Harvest Salad ($8) and the “Lumpy” Crab Cakes ($9). The Harvest Salad was served with a rosemary citrus vinaigrette, and topped with apricots, beets, pine nuts, walnuts, dried cranberries, and other assorted dried fruits. …

  • Breakfast at Home: Crepes

    Story Image One of the perks my daughter's friends enjoy about a sleepover at my home (other than rearranging the furniture for movie time) are the crepes I serve our guests in the morning. I can remember sleepover breakfasts from when I was a kid that consisted of potato chips and soda from the night before. If the lack of sleep didn't make us dizzy and irritable enough, the fat, salt and sugar we ingested in the morning would make sure the entire day would be counted for lost. Ugh. Crepe …
