Cara at The Chanler
An Intimate Tasting Experience
Open Wednesday through Sunday
Overlooking Cliff Walk and Easton’s Bay, Cara invites guests to experience an evening shaped by the rhythm of the coast and the creativity of the kitchen. Chef Jacob Jasinski and his culinary team present a blind tasting that unfolds one course at a time, introducing each dish as it leaves the kitchen.
The menuless experience changes nightly, drawing on what arrives from local fishermen, farmers, and ranchers. Each course reflects the season, the sea just beyond the windows, and a refined European approach to craft.
Cara follows the seasons in both its menu and its setting. In late fall, winter, and early spring, guests gather at the Cara Counter overlooking the open kitchen. In late spring, summer, and early fall, the experience unfolds at individual tables in the ocean-facing dining room.
The Cara Counter
Now welcoming guests
During the cooler months, Cara welcomes guests to a 10-foot onyx communal counter at the chef’s pass. With seating for just five guests, the counter offers a closer view of the culinary team at work and natural conversation as each course is presented.
The Cara Counter offers one experience: a five-course blind tasting that changes nightly.
Wednesday through Saturday: 5:00 pm and 8:00 pm
Sunday: 6:00 pm
$185 per person ++
The Cara Dining Room
Returning in late spring
In the warmer months, Cara welcomes guests to individual tables in the dining room overlooking Cliff Walk and Easton’s Bay. The evening unfolds through a blind tasting, with each course introduced by the culinary team.
Menus, seating times, and reservations for the coming season will be announced closer to its return.
Honored with the AAA Five Diamond and Forbes Five-Star distinctions, Cara is also recognized with Wine Spectator’s Award of Excellence.
Due to the intimate nature of the experience, full prepayment is required at the time of booking. Cancellations must be made at least 72 hours in advance.
Chef’s blind tastings include both meat and seafood. For severe allergies, multiple restrictions, vegetarians, or vegans, we recommend dining at Remy’s Loose.
