Surf Clam Pop-Up with Tony Messina

As part of Esters’ ongoing Guest Chef Series, we’re inviting James Beard Award-winning and critically-acclaimed Chef Tony Messina. Tony moved from Boston to LA a couple of years ago so he could eventually open The Surf Clam, an east coast-inspired seafood concept. He’s taking over Esters’ “little kitchen that could” for a night and cooking up a playful à la carte menu that blends Japanese and Chinese influences with New England cuisine, all while showcasing California’s stunning seasonal produce and seafood. Sommelier Randall Middleton is pairing some lovely wines too, so come get a sneak preview of what one of the country’s hottest chefs is bringing to our city! Reservations are highly recommended via Resy, but we welcome walk-ins at the bar.
