Item Description

Host the best dinner party ever with an exclusive, intimate, and incredible custom-designed multicourse tasting menu prepared by Executive Chef Jonathan Hudak of Cafemantic.

With a commitment to genuine hospitality, talent and vigor of a hardworking culinary team, and the determination to give Willimantic something to be proud of, Cafemantic is recognized as a leading place making innovator, transposing food as a medium that helped jumpstart downtown’s return to vibrancy.

As chef de cuisine at Grant’s restaurant in West Hartford, Chef Johnathan was allowed the latitude to extend his creative instincts to serve a clientele who savored the eclectic cuisine and attention to detail that was a hallmark of the local dining scene.

In 2013, the owner of Cafemantic, Andrew Gu‹tt, recruited Jonathan, a former hospitality colleague of Andrew’s to create a menu and design a kitchen that would take his enterprise to the next level – a unique dining experience in a small town with big aspirations. Chef Jonathan met this challenge by creating and executing an extraordinary small plate menu sourced primarily from local farms that has created a buzz in eastern Connecticut as well as rave reviews by media including the New York Times.

You and your guests will sit back relax and enjoy as Chef Jonathan does all the cooking. On a mutually agreeable date at your home (must be within a 1 hour radius of Horizons) or host your dinner party right at Cafemantic. Chef Johnathan will create a menu from top notch, locally sourced ingredients donated by VERDE Farm (organic, high quality grass fed beef), the Fish Market in Willimantic (freshly caught local seafood) and Organic Vegetables from Oxen Hill, CSA. Wine, a specialty cocktail and dessert are included.
