Hello,
After perusing the fish markets, below is the final edition of the August 18th menu. There is an exciting additional course to refresh the palate. This menu is suitable for crisp white wines, sake, or very easy drinking red wines if you are a die-hard red wine drinker.
If you have any questions email me at loren@labombilladc.com
Hello,
We are very close to selling the minimum amount of tickets needed to guarantee our location on August 18th, but we need more. This menu is very exciting and offers a Japanese influence with a modernist touch. Influences are from the great restaurants of Alinea, Le Bernardin, El Bulli, Morimoto, and Momofuku.
If interested, please take a look at the August 18th event details at http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/262503
The location is truly beautiful and very convenient to SF, and the Peninsula.
Warm regards,
Loren

To assist we will provide wine pairing advice for our guests. This event should last approximately 3 hours.
The next dinner will have an Asian influence and a choice of fish or regular tasting menu. We look forward to offering a diverse and exciting menu. We reserve the right to make small changes to the menu based on ingredient availability to insure freshness and quality.
Save the date…August 18th at 7 p.m. in Pacifica for the next La Bombilla Dinner Event. Menu and ticket information to follow.

Good Afternoon,
For those that have signed up, we are looking forward to serving you on Saturday evening at our location in Pacifica. We wanted to make one last mention that we do have seats available for Saturday so it’s not too late to join us. If you cannot make it, thank you for your interest and we hope to see you soon. Details are found here:
As promised, we wanted to give some guidance on the wine pairings before the event. In addition, we plan to serve a couple of cocktails during the course of the dinner.
For the vegetarian menu, we suggest crisp white wines or lite Spanish or Italian red wines.
For the regular menu, we suggest lite Spanish red wines and then later on in the menu, Cabernet, Malbec, or a Zin to balance out the foie gras.
We are very excited about this dinner and thank you very much for the support!
