From the bar, guests can toast to with an elegant “
Champagne & Caviar”
cocktail, named for the restaurant’s opening days when a Champagne and
caviar lounge was featured within 701. This special cocktail is a riff
off on a classic French 75 made with
gin, sparkling wine, lemon
juice, kiwi syrup, egg white, silver flakes, and garnished with
pomegranate "caviar,” pickled green apple, on cherry glass. The
silver foil represents the traditional gift of silver when celebrating a
25th anniversary. This exclusive anniversary cocktail is priced at $25
for two (tax and gratuity not included) and is available for lunch and
dinner service. Additionally, by popular demand, 701 Restaurant is also
continuing its caviar sample with four American varieties paired with a
glass of Champagne for $45 per person (tax and gratuity excluded.)
Photos of the Champagne & Caviar and the Caviar Sampler are
available.
