New Dinners at H2O Kitchen

by theelvee_w2oe3m

As we detailed back in November, Chef Jason Hook will be opening up H2O Kitchen later this year.  For a preview of the beautiful old mill that his team is working on converting into a restaurant he’s hosting four tasting dinners from now until March.  The dinners kick off with a craft beer dinner ($95) on February 22nd, 2012 and continue with an ‘American Retro Comfort’ (aka white trash) dinner ($115) on February 29th, a duck tasting  ($95) featuring Jurgieliwicz & Sons ducks ten different ways using ten different parts, and a veggie tasting dinner (price TBD) on March 31st.  To reserve a spot at these dinners call 610-750-1495.  The full menus for each dinner are listed below:
