The Main Event (7:15-9:30PM)

A dinner joining two of the best food cultures in the world! Chef Cox trained under both French and Italian chefs and his cooking style is a seamless blend of these two famous cuisines. Italian food is family – raucous abundance and joy. French food is elegant technique and precision. A meal at Oakleaf is a happy family reunion of the two!
