SARA

As written this week · September 2026

The Journey

The latke is back, with maple kombu. Branzino is on. Milk bread when the loaf is ready. The kitchen writes the rest on the night.

Everything begins and ends with cooking for our guests, not for ourselves. Technique, seasonality, the best possible ingredients — none of it matters unless the plate resonates. If it does not open the eyes a little wider after the first bite, it does not belong.

Since 2026, SARA is tasting-menu only. Lia Silva and Graham Gibbs write seven courses. You do not pick them. You tell us how you eat, then you give the evening to the kitchen.

02 · Memory, sharpened

Nostalgia

Dishes that feel known, then turn. A latke that stops you. A Reuben that should not work, and does.

    Rosé

    A hinge. Nostalgia turning toward earth.

    Red

    The slower glass, for the week’s meat.

    A last sweetness. Then chocolate.

How you eat

Before you come

01What dietary restrictions can you accommodate?

The Journey can currently accommodate gluten-free, dairy-free, pescatarian, and vegetarian guests. There is no vegan menu. Tell us every restriction when you book — the kitchen will write the night around you.

02Do I choose the courses?

No. Other than dietary notes, The Journey is entirely chef-curated. Sit back. Let the house cook. Each course is written to follow the last.

03Is there a wine pairing?

Yes — $60 per person. Wine director Merrin McHugh pours a six-glass arc: sparkling, white, rosé, two reds, dessert wine. Sustainable, organic, low-intervention bottles from small producers.

04How long does The Journey take?

About two and a half hours. Long enough to be ceremonial. Short enough that the evening still belongs to you.

05What if we are more than six?

The Journey seats 1–6. Parties of 7–16 are welcomed family-style, or as a partial buyout. Direct parties of 7+ from RASA here. Write [email protected] or text 416-985-5721.
