We are deeply grateful for the response to this dinner. We chose to keep reservations limited so we could preserve the pacing, attention, and level of service the evening deserves.

A cancellation waitlist is available. If you would like to be added, please contact us directly.

We are grateful for your support and look forward to welcoming everyone joining us on September 25th.

"Say Yes" Tasting Menu
Flavors and Memories of Michoacán and Veracruz, Mexico
Friday, September 25
4:00 to 10:00 p.m.
Reserve a table at theblackbearbistro.com/say-yes-menu

Four courses bring together two states that have shaped my life: Michoacán, where I was born and spent my first thirteen years, and Veracruz, which became a second home through my wife, Estela, and her family.

Reservations are intentionally limited so we can give every table the attention, pacing, and service this menu deserves. Once the evening is fully reserved, no additional date will be added.

Come with an open mind. I’ll take care of the rest.

Pictured:
My mother, Feliza, with Julia and Conrad, my mother-and father-in law.
Mom making tortillas. A better cook than I could ever hope to be.
Conrad, tending his lychee tree.
