Tomato Dinner
Chef Amanda Freitag kicked things off at Heermance Events at 183 with her Tomato Dinner, a late-summer evening celebration highlighting the tomato in all its glory. Guests gathered around an intimate table to enjoy a vibrant menu of peak-season tomatoes, playful tomato inspired dishes, and thoughtful touches that turned the space into a lush, end-of-summer sanctuary. It was a night of bold flavors, beautiful community, and pure celebration.
