Reservations are required; call (831) 475-5600 or visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opentable.com\" data-cke-saved-href=\"http:\/\/www.opentable.com\">OpenTable<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The event takes place on Chaminade\u2019s Sunset Patio, offering a great view. For the price of admission, each person receives one whole Dungeness crab plus lots of other food: there will be a buffet with all-you-can-eat crab legs (and house-made herbed garlic butter), roasted chicken with linguini, roasted artichokes with aioli, house-made French bread, Caesar salad, and petit fours.<\/p>\n<p>The evening begins at 5 p.m. From 5-6, guests can purchase drinks, mingle, choose their seats, and enjoy the sunset. Dinner will be available from 6-9.<\/p>\n<p>If you haven\u2019t had the opportunity to taste Executive Chef Kirsten Ponza\u2019s food yet, I highly recommend it! Chef Kirsten was promoted to Executive Chef in October 2013, after being named Executive Sous Chef in September 2012. She first joined Chaminade in 2003 as Pastry Chef, but in 2004 she left to take advantage of a unique opportunity: being a Tour Chef for rock band The Rolling Stones! A couple years later, she was back at Chaminade and\u2014with her hard work and creativity\u2014has been rising in the ranks ever since.<\/p>\n<p>On Twitter?
