Each year The Oyster Gala is held as a kickoff to the Oyster Festival and as a fund raiser for the National Oyster Cook-off. This year we are pleased to announce the Oyster Gala will be held at The Tides Restaurant and Oyster Bar on October 2, 2005 at 6:00 p.m. The menu put together by Chef Ahmed and Mattre’d Arthur Ehrlich is titled “Oyster Festival Feast with Wine Pairings”. As the name implies, a different wine is offered for each of the five courses. The cost is $50.00 per person and is partially tax deductible. Our goal is to serve 100 guests. The Tides Restaurant has also agreed to a Level III sponsorship of this year’s Oyster Festival. So please, come out and enjoy, while supporting this worthwhile event. The menu includes: Oysters wrapped in smoked salmon, Oyster Chowder, Oyster Caesar Salad, Oyster Carpetbagger Steak, and Dark Chocolate Mousse Martini.  A special wine will be served with each course.
