Via Sophia

"A tribute to the Japanese tradition of Hanami, the centuries-old custom of gathering to appreciate cherry blossoms, newly appointed executive chef Walter Silva blends Italian traditions with Peruvian flavors for an extended seasonal menu to celebrate spring. From Friday, March 7 until the end of June, enjoy prix fixe menus, wine pairings, and springy cocktails while dining under a fun indoor installation of pink and white blossoms. The three-course option is priced at $49 per diner with optional wine pairing of $25. Add two more courses for $89 with an optional $35 wine pairing." - Vinciane Ngomsi, Tierney Plumb
