David Cigognini Dedicated Private Dining Rooms
A dedicated separate dining room gives milestone gatherings and family celebrations the room and privacy to dine together seamlessly over curated share platters.
We had a separate room to accomodate our party of 12 so it was perfect for us. The room allowed for privacy and was big enough so we had room to move.

Deanna Freeth Seamless Dietary Accommodations
The kitchen adapts fine-dining tasting courses and set menus across complex restrictions, including gluten-free sourdough and tailored dishes that never feel like an afterthought.
I am gluten intolerant and majority of the menu either was GF already or could easily accommodate. Nothing was too much trouble at all.
Bec Crouch Rigorous Nutritional Tailoring
Even highly specific dietary regimens such as strict medical keto are accommodated with dish-level care, delivering an uncompromised high-dining experience.
The Currant Shed was the most amazing to cater each dish to ensure they wouldn’t be pushed out of ketosis. First Keto-friendly high dining experience we’ve found so far!
