A JOURNEY IN COURSES
Dinner | Multi-Course Tasting Menu | By Reservation | Seasonal Seatings
There’s a certain kind of evening that only happens here. The garden glows outside the windows, music hums through a room wrapped in vintage warmth, and strangers settle in around a long table as if they’ve known each other for years. The courses arrive like chapters in a story—bold, expressive, unmistakably shaped by Chef Perfecte Rocher, whose acclaimed, wanderlust-driven cooking carries influences from around the world and ingredients grown just steps away. It’s part dinner, part art piece, part gathering of curious, hungry people who enjoy discovering things together. Some call it a tasting menu; others call it a communal supper. We think of it as an invitation: to slow down, share the table, meet the chef, taste something you’ve never tasted before, and feel, for a couple of hours, like you’re part of the garden’s quiet magic.

Today, its new stewards, Perfecte and Alia Rocher, honor that legacy by preserving the garden’s spirit and the values that made this place beloved, while mindfully guiding it into the present. Their goal is not to reinvent but to respect—to ensure every path, plate, and gathering carries forward the integrity and timeless beauty that define The Ranch House.
