Each Tuesday evening, owner/chef Michael Clark and Chef Cole of Michael's on Main match the dinner menu with Santa Cruz Mountain wineries and breweries, local produce and area seafood. A sumptuous buffet complements the food, contributing to the chosen theme of the evening. Enjoy live music and meet guest local chefs and wine reps.
Michael and staff are continuing with their popular concept of inviting local chefs into the kitchen to make some of their favorite dishes. “It was so much fun that we're doing it again throughout the winter series,” they said.
