Luxury dining doesn’t always have to follow tradition. At The Maybourne Beverly Hills, National Caviar Month kicked off with an evening that challenged expectations, inviting guests to experience one of the culinary world’s most coveted delicacies through an inventive tasting designed to be as approachable as it was refined.
Last night, Alessa, the Penn District’s stylish new dining gem, hosted an exclusive event that brought a touch of luxury and sophistication to Midtown Manhattan. The occasion? Something not worth *disengaging,* a celebration of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City star Meredith Marks’ latest venture—a premium caviar line. The line will be sold at Juniper, Alessa’s sister restaurant.
On Saturday, November 18th, OFF GRID, in collaboration with Innovative Dining Group presented their VIP Race Weekend Viewing suite at Caesars Palace’ The Forum Shops, featuring a flowing open bar featuring Wolfie’s Whisky, Casamigos, Red Bull, Peroni and Champagne Telmont.
The event also featured the finest cuisine, including an elaborate raw bar, passed Boa Steakhouse signatures rotated with flowing Sushi Roku hot appetizers, sushi and sashimi specialties. Golden Reserve Caviar offered a caviar bar on Thursday and Friday, while Saturday featured Imperia Caviar tastings.

Sushi Roku is located at the top level of The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, with a prime view of the main straightaway.
