A Father's Day summer weekend brunch for 10 guests — relaxed, generous, and a little indulgent. The appetizer table opened with prosciutto and arugula crostini drizzled in balsamic glaze, smoked salmon vol-au-vent on tiered stands, an artisan cheese and charcuterie selection with house-marinated olives, and a fresh fruit and berries board with vanilla bean dip — all set against a Happy Father's Day banner and the printed Summer Weekend Brunch menu.

Chef's Notes
Father's Day called for a menu that felt like a celebration without being fussy — appetizer tiers to graze on while the lobster and ribeye came together, then a waffle board to keep the brunch feeling playful right to the end.
Butter-poached lobster tails are pure indulgence. Poaching gently in butter keeps the meat tender and sweet, and the white wine beurre blanc ties it together — a main worthy of the occasion without overshadowing the rest of the table.
The watermelon, cucumber and mint salad is my favorite summer reset. Juicy watermelon, crisp cucumber, honey goat cheese, and a zesty lime vinaigrette cut right through the richer mains and brighten the whole spread.
Charred asparagus on a whipped feta pillow is the side I make the same way every time because it simply works — the smoky lemon char against the cool, creamy feta is a contrast guests always come back to.
