This Thursday, Harrisons hosts a Basque Style Seafood Night, five courses moving through traditional and modern Basque cooking, built around the Southern Bluefin tuna and matched with Spanish varietal wines, some grown locally and some brought in from Spain.⁠

Then on Monday, George Darby is serving up a 3 Course Mystery Meal, three courses of seafood for $45, and the only thing you can expect is the unexpected. Bookings anytime between 5pm and 8pm.⁠
