Described by chef-owner Peter Froese as "Italian-inspired long-course meals," Gander and Ryegrass is a carefully executed yet approachable take on traditional European fine dining. Its opening menu the first weekend of November 2019 featured a three-course meal for $45 per person with a handful of choices per course, and optional drink pairings for an additional $40. Gander and Ryegrass's "marathon" dinner option, at $75 per person, meanwhile, consists of 10 to 12 individually coursed or table-shared portions prepared at the chef's whim, with some overlap on the three-course menu. Diners can expect to see Gander and Ryegrass's menu in a state of constant evolution due to seasonality and creativity.
The marathon is our rustic take on a tasting menu. This offering is a 6 course meal with about 15 plates. Some plates are individual, some plates are shareable and some are just small bites to entice the palate. Sit back and relax as the chef takes the reins and gives you the best and most creative dishes we can think of. We do kindly ask that the whole table participate
