On Wednesday, February 14 , The Barnes hosted a fabulous, romantic Valentine’s Dinner Party among world class art and architecture. Guests enjoyed a deliciously curated menu, as we mingled with our Valentines, galentines and palentines.
The evening kicked off with a special cocktail hour where guests mixed and mingled while enjoying drinks and hors d’oeuvres.
For dinner there was an aphrodisiac-rich, Mediterranean-inspired menu crafted by Constellation Culinary Group.
o Amuse of Winter Fluke Crudo o First Course of Warmed Hummus Mezze with roasted fennel & sumac, mint & garlic pesto o Choice of Entrée including Pan Seared Branzino, Harissa Braised Beef Short Rib or Charred Vidalia Onion o Sweet Treats including Gilded Chocolate Lava Cake Bites, Blueberry Cheesecake Torte, Spiced Carrot Cake and French Macarons o Plus, take-home Champagne truffles
Why is this column showing up so late. Well as you know I have exclusives with three magazines. Philly Mag, Philly Style and Main Line Today. When I shoot something like this in February, I submit it to the mags. For each outlet I submit multiple options, and I only know which party they picked up when the magazine is published. This fabulous one wasn’t, so I am publishing it here on Chit Chat. I hope the Barnes has more of these events, it was quite lovely.
Socially Yours, HughE
