12 Days of Cafe Davis
Please make your reservations early. Due to the much shorter schedule and move to December, we have to limit seating each night to 8 guests. Dinner is always served at 8pm, with cocktails served at 7:30. As always, a dessert gratuity is appreciated (by your hosts and fellow guests alike!)
As we did a few years ago, the theme this year is "start with an ingredient." Thanks to those of you who suggested ingredients - it looks like yummy fun!
