Proof that the best food is made by a team with a great attitude!

The Essex Meadows food and beverage crew raised the bar and brought the energy to Riverfare 2026. Not only can this team craft a world-class plate, but they also know how to keep the vibe fun and collaborative. 🥂

This year’s savory creation was perfectly seared scallops over braised leek "pasta", topped with osteria caviar, creme fraiche, and fresh green onions. The team then topped it off with a nostalgic twist: An orange creamsicle creme brulee.

Incredible job bringing both exceptional flavor and fantastic team spirit to the riverfront!
