Of course we always had a grand plan for our mayonnaise colored walls in the main dining room. But when we were approached about installing art by a new gallery owner in town, we couldn’t resist. More on the new gallery a little later on.

The art gracing our walls today is by Sydney Hopkins, a Maryland native, born in Baltimore. As a fine art painter her artwork is abstract, primarily inspired by the European abstract artists and the American landscape painters of the late 19th and early 20th century. She is influenced as well by the design esthetics of the 50’s and 60’s. She keeps a studio in the Woodberry neighborhood.

Although not so abstract, here is one of the pieces that I think is fitting.

The artwork is on loan to us for a few short months before we rotate to a new featured artist. We hope you have a chance to see the entire collection in the dining room before it leaves us. And yes, if you fall in love with one or two of the pieces, you may take it home with you. Just ask our dining room manager (Neil) for details.

For one night only, on Friday, November 21, VOLT invites you to an evening of gastronomic indulgence. Welcoming guests into the Chef’s Dining Room, Chef will craft a seven-course tasting menu highlighting the decadent white truffle.

Hailing from Italy’s luxurious Piedmont region, VOLT honors the beauty of this highly coveted fungus boasting earthy, garlicky flavors. This particular truffle’s arrival is a telling of the fall season while welcoming the winter months ahead.

We are offering two seatings for this special evening; one at 6:00 pm and one at 8:30 pm.

The seven-course tasting menu is priced at $150 per person and Aaron will offer spectacular wine parings to compliment Chef’s creations for an additional charge of $50.

You don’t want to miss this dinner. To secure a reservation you can book directly online through our website or by calling our reservation desk. If booking online, please note “truffle tasting” in the notes section.

See you amongst the truffles!
