Gigi's Tavern Introduces Innovative Five Course Chef's Tasting Menu
BOCA RATON, Fla. Gigi's Tavern at Mizner Park in Boca Raton has introduced a Five Course Tasting Menu that gives guests an opportunity for an extraordinary culinary and dining experience, one that will impress even the most discerning palate.

This unique culinary experience begins when the chef visits your table, removes the menus and inquires if there are any dietary limitations or specific taste preferences. All decisions and selections are then made in the kitchen. Each course is individually presented at the table by the chef who describes the dish. While this creative menu changes every day, following is an example of what was served at a recent tasting:

Sample Menu- Menu Chnges Daily

First Course
Shrimp Kataffi: pan seared and served with a coconut chili sauce

Second Course
Stilton and Watercress Salad: roasted beets, watercress, navel oranges, stilton blue cheese and pistachios tossed in a light vinaigrette

Intermezzo
Peach, mojito and blackberry cabernet sorbet trio

Third Course
Veal Two Ways: veal short ribs with parsnip mashed potatoes and natural jus and veal tenderloin with mashed potatoes, asparagus tips, carrots and port wine sauce

Fourth Course
New England Style Swordfish: grilled swordfish served over mashed potatoes with a creamy New England clam broth

Fifth Course
Three-Layer Cheesecake: layers of chocolate, vanilla and coffee, covered in fresh berries

The Chef will provide wine pairing suggestions for appropriate courses.
