A four-course Sustainable Seafood Dinner highlighting a variety of local and regional catch alongside a dynamic selection of wine pairings.

Helmed by executive chef Tim Kolanko and chef de uisine Ronnie Schwandt, the duo will be joining forces with chef Greg Chavez of San Diego’s Wine Vault & Bistro -- who formally helped to open Leroy’s in 2011 as executive chef.

All three gourmands will come together to cook and create in the same kitchen for the first time. With Kolanko’s background in fresh, ingredient-driven cuisine, as well as the training and history he shares with both Chavez and Schwandt, this “all hands on deck” four-course meal is sure to guarantee San Diego foodies a deliciously memorable dining experience.
