Dine in Style at The Pass

December 2, 2016 by

As the vision of two chefs who were charged with running Gordon Ramsay's restaurant, The Maze, the best way to describe The Pass is unique. After you are escorted through a secret door and are seated, you have a choice between several menus, including vegetarian options. After that, the wait staff will bring you between five and eight courses throughout the evening. Come hungry and ready for a culinary adventure because none of what you will be served is traditional fare but rather a conglomeration of regional and international cuisine—the vision of the restaurant's owners.

The Pass is open Tuesday through Saturday from 5 to 9 p.m. and is located in the same space with Provisions. Reservations are suggested, so be sure to claim your table today!
