In the beginning...

Welcome to our food log, an intimate look into Restaurant Eve - our chefs, our food, our travels and our verve. Each week, or rather when it strikes the fancy, we’ll post a peek into the behind the scenes of our world - both the divine and the diabolical.

The Plum Gentleman

Introducing the Plum Gentleman:
Plum poached in Sauvignon Blanc and lemongrass from the garden, with a lemongrass simple syrup, Flor de Cana rum aged 4 years, Campari, and house-made lemon bitters.


Just behind the sunflower room sits one of Eve's treasures: the backyard edible garden that is home to a variety of herbs--including an assortment of basil and lemongrass--organically grown tomatoes and vegetables of the season.


Elements of the garden often inspire new creations, also allowing us to make use of what is readily at hand. In this fashion, Todd Thrasher is at it again, creating a new cocktail inspired by fresh lemongrass grown in Eve's very own backyard. Now that summer is winding down and fall is budding its joyous head, there's a new array of fruit and vegetables to be grown... just think of the possibilities.
