The Chef - Marvin Zuniga is a self-made and self-taught culinary maestro, His South American heritage can often be seen, smelled and tasted in his dishes but his true gift is his ability to re-imagine cuisines from all over the world. He has won multiple awards for his work in Atlantic City including Best Seafood Chef and Up-And-Comers to Watch. Maybe Chef Marvin's greatest gift is his zest for life and the pride he takes in making dishes that his guests love.

Collared shirts and pants with optional blazer for the guys and dress or other fashion-forward wear for the ladies. Start time - Please arrive 15 minutes prior to your tasting start time. Tastings begin promptly and are not delayed for late arrivals. If your course is missed due to tardiness we cannot remake it when you arrive. Quantity - This is a 5 course tasting and is designed to be a full meal once completed. If at the conclusion of the tasting you would like additional quantities we can offer them on select tasting items or additional items at no charge. Note: This almost never happens. Libations - The alcoholic pairings are tasting sizes of one half to two ounces depending on the items included. If you'd like more of the paired item, they are purchased at a discounted rate as part of the tasting experience. Duration - Every tasting is unique based on the guests engagement and size but overall most tastings are completed in about two hours.
