With Summer in full swing and Fall quickly approaching, what better way to treat our Members and Guests than to a Summer Soiree!Our Executive Chef and Management Team worked together to prepare a fun-filled evening. Our idea was to showcase the four seasons so that guests could fully experience the cuisine and seasonality that The City Club has to offer.
Thank you to everyone who attended "Seasons of The City Club" and made our event special.
The evening began with guests being welcomed on the 10th Floor Cafe where our theme was Summer “San Francisco Giant’s” Baseball and Spring Farmer’s Market. The Café was decorated with wine barrel cocktail tables, market umbrella’s, sounds of tropical birds chirping provided by Peter Rudolfi’s latest Soundscapes, and Steel Drums, provided by our Member Natasha Miller, owner of Entire Productions.
Summer’s tasty offerings were House Made Mini- Corndogs, Philly Cheese Steaks on mini brioche buns, Garlic French fries, and Fall off the Bone Baby Back Ribs. Spring included abundant baskets of fresh produce showcasing the array of seasonal vegetables our Farmers Market has to offer. Spring influenced dishes included, Mixed Stone Fruit Salad, Watermelon and Cashew Salad, Heirloom Tomatoes with fresh Mozzarella and Basil, Artisan Cheeses and Rustic Breads paired with Market Honey Comb. Delish!!!
Our Summer and Spring libations were refreshing Rosé wine, Fizzy Lemonades with the option of a splash of Vodka, and bottled domestic and imported beers.
A fully dressed Santa Clause, who was definitely checking his list to see if we were naughty or nice, was the perfect escort chanting Ho! Ho! Ho! Inviting guests to our 11th Floor Main Dining Room where Winter & Fall could be enjoyed.
The 11th Floor Main Dining Room was decorated with deep jewel toned linens, gorgeous fall colored florals, holiday wreaths, and our fireplace was flanked by a beautiful live harpist and festive holiday tree.
Guests dined on a Raw Bar filled with fresh Dungeness Crab Legs, P.E.I. Mussels, Poached Prawns, and Oysters on the Half Shell. Our custom designed City Club Caviar ice sculpture was filled with three different types of Caviar and all of the accoutrements.
For fall Chef prepared, House Brined Quail with a Cornbread Stuffing, Garlicky Rapini, and a Roasted Beet and Humboldt Fog Salad. While Winter delicacies included our signature Prime Rib Carving Station, Wild Mushroom Bread Pudding and a Mixed Chicory Salad.
There were plentiful amounts of food prepared by our culinary team and we think our guests surely enjoyed!
Back on the 10th Floor a beautiful Brazilian Carnival dancer reminded guests that on the 9th floor there was a little piece of Havana.
Our 9th Floor Library Room which has beautiful sage walls and bright windows with natural lighting was decorated with custom Havana furniture, coordinating ottomans, fresh Palm trees and Tropical sounds.
A fully stocked Mojito Bar welcomed guests along with tasty dessert treats, including seasonal Petite Fours, Chocolate Dipped Bananas, City Club Signature Truffled Popcorn, House Made Caramel Popcorn, House Made Chocolate Covered Pretzels and a Custom City Club Candy Display.
Our custom City Club bags, allowed guests to take home Sweet taffy’s, Sour Candies and Chocolate covered goodies, a perfect way to end the evening!
For those looking for an added nightcap, our 9th floor Bechtel Room, known for its dark wooden walls and built in fireplace was set up for a Scotch tasting. Our dark brown leather bar stools and custom Colchester linens provided the perfect atmosphere for guests to finish their evening and enjoy a fantastic taste of signature scotches.
The evening was certainly one to remember, a definite display of all that The City Club has to offer and we look forward to seeing our Members and Guests back at the Club soon!
