About the Event

Step Right Up for a Gourmet Tribute to the Atlantic City Boardwalk!

Join us at Council Oak Steaks & Seafood at the Hard Rock Hotel, perched directly on the iconic Atlantic City Boardwalk, as we celebrate the start of summer in grand Chaîne style.

This extraordinary evening pays homage to the vibrant flavors and nostalgia of the Atlantic City Boardwalk—reimagined with elegance, creativity, and a gourmet twist. From elevated takes on seaside favorites to playful desserts, every bite promises to surprise and delight.

The evening kicks off with a lively cocktail hour, featuring inventive Atlantic City Boardwalk-inspired hors d’oeuvres like mini scallop corn dogs, dry-aged “cheesesteaks” on brioche, and lemon “water ice” shrimp cocktails. Then sit down to a refined two-course dinner starring a signature shoreline crab cake with Jersey tomato confit, followed by summer-braised short ribs over sweet corn polenta.

And for dessert? Expect a whimsical medley of boardwalk sweets, including freshly pulled lavender-lemon saltwater taffy, sea salt pink cotton candy, funnel cakes with strawberry-mint salsa, and house-made soft-serve. Highlights also include truffled white chocolate popcorn and caramel coconut lollipops—all served in a festive, interactive “get-up-and-mingle” finale.

Come dressed to celebrate the season! Think upscale summer chic—breezy elegance to match the seaside spirit.

Let the breeze, the flavors, and the company whisk you away. This is summer on the boardwalk—refined, reimagined, and unforgettable.

IMPORTANT:

We will enforce a hard ticket cut-off of June 13. As much as we’d love to keep tickets open until the last minute, the logistics of final headcounts, seating charts, table cards, and printed materials make it impossible. Once the deadline passes, we won’t be able to accommodate any more guests—no exceptions.

Vive La Chaine!
