We welcome members and guests to join us at the Library for our next Kitchen Takeover the Chef Lauro Romero of Clandestino, and most recently at the helm of República. This five course dining menu showcases Romero’s ability to artfully blend traditional Mexican cuisine with newer, transformative flavors and practices. *Read below to preview the menu!

Each dish will be thoughtfully paired with a handcrafted cocktail designed by MWL Spirit Curator and Education Manager  Brett Adams. Following dinner, Chef Romero will join guests in the Library for an intimate meet and greet. Due to the nature of this event, select seating will be communal. We will accommodate all seating requests made in advance to the best of our ability.

This menu is pre-fix. We politely decline all substitutions and alterations. 

We can’t wait to see you there!
