Autumn Tastes and Cocktails at Tanners Restaurant
11.19.19
Ready for a taste of fall and drinks of the season? Pasea Hotel & Spa's Tanner's Restaurant just added a new seasonal menu that calls for flannel and a beanie - locals and guests alike can indulge in standout items like the sticky buns - delivering an unexpected twist with pumpkin seed brittle, crunchy candied pecans and topped with a rich, savory cream cheese frosting. Lighter fare, like the sunchoke salad, is full of wild mushrooms, French radish, sunchoke puree, chicory and crisp Asian pear tied together with a pistachio vinaigrette.
Their happy hour got a little more festive with the addition of a PSCB (Pumpkin Spiced Cold Brew) complete with pumpkin-infused whipped cream and whiskey and an autumn harvest punch – where a cranberry shrub, crisp local apples, sour pisco, and full-bodied pear brandy make for a drink worthy of sipping the night away with friends.
