Join us on Thursday, October 9 at 6:30 PM for a relaxed and delicious evening celebrating the very best of fall. We’re setting a long table at Rustic Church and serving a simple, comforting menu that’s all about seasonal flavors and cozy vibes—just the kind of dinner you’d want to share with friends.

We’ll start with warm apple cider, followed by a creamy butternut squash bisque and a crisp autumn salad with baby gem greens, toasted pumpkin seeds, and late tomatoes tossed in a fresh herb vinaigrette. Then it’s on to the main course: a rich, slow-braised harvest ragu made with beef, pork, and lamb, served over creamy polenta. For dessert, we’re keeping it classic—homemade apple crisp with vanilla whipped cream. We’ll have iced tea and coffee, too.

It’s $75 per person, and we’re keeping it small and intimate. If that sounds like your kind of evening, we’d love to have you at the table.
