Sinatra Tribute Dinner at Fresh Salt at Saybrook Point

Saybrook Point To Host 

Special Tribute Dinner to Frank Sinatra


Fresh Salt at Saybrook Point is hosting a special tribute dinner in honor of the legendary performer Frank Sinatra to be held in conjunction with Old Saybrook’s Seaside Wine and Spirits on Saturday, January 21, 2017.

This creative Jack Daniel’s Family of Whiskey Dinner honors the iconic performer’s special relationship with the forerunner location during the property’s 1960's heydays when Sinatra and his “Rat Pack” were regulars at the Terra Mar Hotel & Yacht Basin.

Yes, that's right! Frank Sinatra kept his boat and entertained friends on a regular basis on the property where Saybrook Point Inn and Marina sits today.

At one time it was rumored that Sinatra was interested in purchasing the Terra Mar where Hollywood royalty like Jayne Mansfield and Tom Jones spent time. In fact, parts of the movie Parrish, starring Troy Donohue and Connie Stevens were filmed here. The hotel eventually fell on hard times, was raided twice for illegal gambling, and finally shut down in 1980, owing a large tax debt. Louis and Mary Tagliatela then purchased the unoccupied hotel at auction, and nine years later, the Terra Mar was replaced with the beautiful Saybrook Point Inn.

The Jack Daniel’s Family of Whiskey Dinner will feature a robust selection of single barrel whiskey and rye by one of America’s most iconic distilleries, expertly paired with a hearty selection of fresh seafood, steaks and poultry creatively prepared by Saybrook Point’s talented Private Event and Banquet Chef Bill Titus and Fresh Salt Chef d’ Cuisine Gesé Rodriguez.

The evening begins at 6:30 p.m. with hors d’oeuvres featuring Crabmeat Salad-Sweet Potato Pancake, Assorted Sushi, and Braised Pork Belly with green tomato jam served with a Jacked-Up Cider Cocktail.

The five-course whiskey dinner begins at 7:00 p.m., commencing with a first course of Ceviche Tartare Duo with Scallop-Tuna Citrus Sauce paired with Gentleman Jack.

The second course features a Lamb T-Bone with Lentil Croquette, Trumpet Mushrooms and Marsala Glace paired with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Select.

The third and fourth course feature Almond-Crusted Black Pearl Salmon with Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Stack paired with Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select and Roast Loin of Venison with Celery Root-Cauliflower Puree, Pear Chutney and Brussel Sprout Leaves paired with Jack Daniel’s Single Barrel Rye.

The dinner concludes with a Black Jack Cake served with a warm malted barley-dusted pretzel paired with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Sauce.

Seaside Wine and Spirits from Old Saybrook will be in attendance, and guests can place orders for their favorite whiskey of the evening at specially reduced prices.
