THE BLUE HOUR
blue hour (n.) the interval after sunset when the sky keeps its last colour, and before the dark arrives in full
The members' circle of SEREIN, for the guests who would rather never have to call.
01What it means
01
A table that is already yours
Thirty seats and one seating means the room fills before most guests think to call. Members are seated first, always.
02
The evenings nobody advertises
A handful of nights each season belong only to the circle: single-producer dinners, the cellar opened, the kitchen cooking off the menu.
03
The kitchen, in your inbox
A letter each month on what the boats brought, what is fermenting, and what will change when the season turns.
02The three memberships
Three ways to keep
an evening.
Membership is billed monthly and may be paused between seasons. Dues are credited against what you eat and drink, so the circle costs nothing extra to the guests who use it.

04Join the circle
Membership is
by request.
Lantern is limited to forty and Keeper to twelve, so requests are answered in the order they arrive and, when the circle is full, held on a list. We answer every one within a week.
A concept room by The Pass. Nothing here is charged.
