My Dinner with SAM

Celebrate the art of food at intimate chef dinners inspired by SAM’s three unique sites. Dine in artful and inspiring settings while enjoying a dynamic evening with culinary artists, local producers and makers, and more.

These unique dinners are designed to spotlight our extraordinary guest chefs, along with partnering food and beverage purveyors. Each dinner kicks-off with drinks and appetizers, allowing guests time to mix and mingle with the makers of the night. A multi-course, family-style dinner follows, hosted by a featured chef who will guide guests through a thoughtfully curated menu.
