A Study in Contrast
Re-experience The Colony House in Anaheim, our reimagined venue with a stunning new outdoor Pavilion and refreshed aesthetic. A nod to this vibrant, versatile venue, we invite you to explore the beauty of duality through flavors, textures, and presentation.
Sip on inspired craft cocktails that play with paradox, from Smoke & Silk with creamy coconut, smoky mezcal, and spicy Thai chili, to Fire & Ice, a chilled Vesper martini served fireside. Oil & Water is an eccentric Old Fashioned with an olive oil-washed bourbon, balanced with a sprinkle of sea salt and black pepper bitters.
Explore opposites in each hors d’oeuvre, like a classic corn dog made classy with Merguez sausage and truffle crème fraiche. Pair warm and cold with our Spring Pea Scallops, caramelized with furikake and accented with cool mint. Enjoy the creamy and crunchy of an Ahi Tuna Rice Cracker, topped with smooth wasabi and crunchy chili oil.
Stations celebrate classic combinations with surprise twists: Hot & Cold combines grilled cheese with tomato sorbet, while Sweet & Savory showcases sweet lobster corn pudding paired with crispy chicken skin. Soft & Sharp features creamy Goat Cheese & Mascarpone Sorbet topped with tart and tangy sour cherry compote and pink peppercorn.
At the Slowly…and Then All At Once station – a nod to this reopening project, how the humble, hearty mushroom grows, and how we like guests to enjoy our dishes – savor mushroom-based bites, like earthy and elegant Maitake Mushroom Cakes and addicting Truffle Mushroom Soup Dumplings.
Indulge in sweet treats at the Shaken & Stirred dessert station, serving custom vanilla bean panna cotta with fluffed granita and floral syrups. Sample from an assortment of cocktail-inspired sweets, like the Lemon Drop sponge cake and Night Cap chocolate cream, or a surprisingly savory yet supremely delicious Soy Sauce Caramel Ice Cream Sandwich.
Enjoy intimate pockets of comfort and conversation in stunning lounge vignettes from the talented Found Rental Co., framed by intricate installations, floral focal points, and decorative touches from 24 Carrots Design.
