Helen's Sake Tasting Dinner

Come up to Helen’s for a truly unique experience. Chef Jeff and Pete worked together to create an event unlike any other as part of Helen’s continuing special dinner series. The six-course dinner will be paired with five sakes.


Sake has been an interest of Chef Jeff’s and until recently has never been on the wine list at Helen’s! In recent years, sake has grown rapidly in popularity across the country – crossing over from Japanese restaurants. Chef Jeff aims to demystify sake, highlight its food-friendliness and popularize more refined and complex styles. This party will also kick-off the summer’s Sushi Sundays at Helen’s, which begins June 21!
