MÄGO is a new concept from Chef Mark Liberman, offering unique Northern Californian cuisine that is focused without fuss, relaxed fine dining. Dishes celebrate our proximity to nature, from the mountains to the ocean, local seasonal produce, sustainably raised meats and fish. MÄGO is all about people, hospitality and food; each week of the year broken down to its own season.
For this dinner, we'll be collaborating with Blue Egg and Feral Heart, two local farms.
