European-Influenced Contemporary Cuisine
An Immersive Menuless Dining Experience
Tucked away in a small private room with panoramic ocean views, Cara, The Chanler's signature Forbes Five-Star restaurant, offers contemporary and creative blind-tasting menus inspired by European elegance and sustainable New England ingredients. Executive Chef Jacob Jasinski lets the food take center stage with avant-garde cuisine, creating new dishes daily to highlight ingredients harvested at their peak. The kitchen team thoughtfully presents and explains each dish to provide a storied view into the creative process, creating a dynamic interaction between the chefs, service team, and guests. An optional wine pairing from the extensive beverage list recognized by Wine Spectator's Award of Excellence is curated nightly for each dish.
