If you adore the theatrical dining experience at Hubert (not to mention dreamy dishes like velvety soft Wagyu tartare and golden chicken fricassée), then you’ll want to snap up a table at their Magnums and Movies series.
The concept is pretty simple: it’s dinner, drinks and a movie. You’ll get to sample magnums of wine from top producers around the world with your popcorn, and enjoy a buffet dinner at intermission inspired by the film being screened. These classy movie nights in the glamorous basement happen sporadically and cost $165 per person, with all elements of the evening catered for.
The first film in the winter lineup is Alexander Payne's 2004 comedy Sideways, with Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church: it's got dry humour, existential drama and a lot of Merlot. Later in the year, we've got Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation, followed by three special screenings of Jean Luc Godard's neo-noir film Alphaville for Vivid. Tarantino's epic 2009 film Inglourious Basterds is screening on Father's Day in September, and the season closes its curtains with Spike Jonze's Being John Malkovich.
As for your intermission meal? Most plates are a twist on some of Hubert's classics: a French-style roast chicken is served with beans and cavolo nero; a salade d’endives with walnut dressing; pommes de terre with butter and garlic; and housemade, flaky choux buns come stuffed with crème patissière.
