Starting today, restaurateurs Matt and Joanna O’Neil of The Blue Ox in Lynn, are debuting a weekly “Secret Supper Club” series designed to provide diners with a customized dining experience. Every Thursday, one party of four to eight guests can reserve the four-course dinner with wine pairings. The catch? The secret menu is revealed upon arrival.
The Thursday night Secret Supper Club concept is by reservation only. While booking, The Blue Ox will take note of any food allergies or strong likes and dislikes in order to tailor the personalized menu. Once seated, O’Neil will take diners through each course and pairing, all the way through dessert. In addition, each Supper Club guest will be presented with a surprise parting gift from the house. Below is a look at a sample menu.
