This was a really special dinner, a fundraiser for a local support group for the Ukrainian people…read morewho are faced with the war by Russia to destroy and take their country. The group Sunflower Seeds Ukraine is headquartered near Boulder and across the city, on two days this week there are events under the name, DINE OUT FOR Ukraine. This dinner at the Chautauqua Dining Hall is the first we are attending. The menu was created and cooked by the chef staff here, using modern high-end takes on Ukraine menu classics. It was beautiful, tasty and we loved it. By the time we learned of it, most seatings were sold out for the earlier time slots because a Ukrainian Quartet was performing at 7:30pm in the nearby Chautauqua Auditorium and many diners were going to both. We did not have tickets for the concert so we ate towards the end of the available Ukraine item service, though they were just fine. The regular menu was also available all evening for those who wanted it. I was familiar with many of these classic selections having eaten some my entire life and even made some myself years ago. My family is not from Ukraine but originated in that general geographic area so many common foods were available and my grandparents emigrated with similar recipes. There were drinks themed to the dinner too, a Mocktail for me and a Spritz for my husband which he generously let me taste. I loved both. The names and ingredients are on the pictured menu I posted. The Amuse to start was a Beet Borscht, each cleverly served in a small, tall glass. It was thick enough with pureed ingredients that it needed a tiny demitasse spoon for eating. The waitstaff could only find one in the stock still clean, so while they looked for more, my husband and I shared the one they had found. Quite funny actually but another time, the staff should be better prepared for such a possibility and have washed a few mid service. The taste was great, the texture was so different from my family recipe, which was a more soup tradition, this added surprise. But the beet flavor shone through, both ways. The first course was the Holubsti, a beef, rice "meatball" wrapped in cooked cabbage, spiced with onion and dill in a tomato purée whereas our home tradition was more of a tomato, ginger sauce. The entrée was Chicken Kiev, common in restaurants around this country, and was served with mashed potatoes and roasted carrots. Nothing my mother ever made! We always had plain roast chicken and boiled potatoes. The dessert was decadent with cream, almost a crêpe but thinner, stuffed with cream and topped with peach compote, the whole thing swirled with cherry coulis. Colors and tastes blended well. The peaches, a touch of Colorado. I was so pleased to have been a part, knowing a good deal of the cost was donated to such a good cause. They also had a table of Ukraine themed items to sell, staffed with their own volunteers, set up near the entrance. I am sure the music was worth the ticket price as we could hear some of it as we left and we hope there will be another time in the future to hear this group. The kitchen, the servers and the decor of the Dining Hall seating were good choices for such a fundraiser. We really do love Chautauqua and we will return to the Dining Hall for their Thanksgiving meal this year.

We brought along a friend who can eat gluten, and even she enjoyed the pizza and deserts. We had a little bit of trouble finding out if the mocktails were also gluten free. I had to ask about some of the menu items because in addition to having celiac, I also have wheat allergy and corn sensitivity. Gluten free doesn't cover it for me, so unfortunately, I have to ask so I know what will be safe. I had to push the waiter to actually find out the ingredients. His initial "the pizza is made with rice flour" didn't tell me what I specifically asked which is, does it have any corn derivatives. It does. It was difficult to get this information. It should not have been. I was informed by the waiter that the cook was in a bad mood. Presumably because I was asking about ingredients. I felt uncomfortable to ask further questions. But I learned enough to know that the pizza is not for me and the fries were probably safe. I settled on the "girl dinner" which was fries and Caesar salad. The ceasar came out with croutons. Fortunately, I did not let the cook's bad mood prevent me from asking if those were gluten free croutons. They were not. A new salad was brought out. Everything was tasty. I would have gotten a dirty martini as part of my meal but they did not have potato vodka. I had Prosecco instead. A few glitches but we will be back for the gf pizza that my kid can eat. We will probably get takeout, though. I felt not the best after my meal so and didn't get enough accurate info to determine why, so I am not likely to order food for myself next time.
