Current Theme for Fall/Winter 2026:

Luxury Ingredients
and Acquired Tastes

Caviar, foie gras, truffles — some of the world’s most coveted ingredients are prestigious, yet the uninitiated often turn a face. When considering the notion of “luxury” and conceiving Merchant Roots’ fall menu, Chef Ryan and his team took a more curious and provocative approach, as in all endeavors.

The experience will feature exquisite ingredients and painstakingly sourced items, but it will also challenge your palette with dishes that defy (and perhaps redefine) what luxury truly means. You’ll indulge in some of life’s greatest joys: Iberico ham Montecristo with quince, saffron funnel cake with spices, yogurt, and crushed pistachios, as well as pumpkin gnocchi with white coffee ricotta, plus stunning courses of venison, chocolate, vanilla, whiskey, and more.

Join us for an evening of decadence as we explore some of gastronomy’s most precious ingredients in a 12-course meal that will surprise and delight you with a new meaning of luxury.
