Seaview, A Dolce Hotel, the New Jersey Shore’s quintessential seaside resort located just outside Atlantic City and an hour drive from Philadelphia, will invite seafood master Michael Stollenwerk, Chef and Co-Owner of Two Fish BYOB in Medford to its Oval Room on Saturday, August 26 from 6-9 pm for a collaboration dinner with Seaview Executive Chef Rodolfo Correa.
A percentage of proceeds from the evening will be donated to Jetty Rock Foundation, a local non-profit dedicated to protecting the oceans and waterways and the people who build their lives around them.
The five-course seafood-forward charity dinner will be hosted in Seaview Hotel’s historic Oval Room, a beautiful, rounded banquet room which once served as a ballroom for princess Grace Kelly’s 16th birthday. Guests will be greeted with a welcome cocktail on the Oval Room’s adjoining patio overlooking Seaview’s lush Bay Course and Atlantic City skyline. The evening will continue with a guided dinner with remarks from both Chef Michael Stollenwerk and Chef Rodolfo Correa. Tickets are $150/person and can be purchased here.
“It was an honor to collaborate with Chef Mike Stollenwerk on this menu,” said Chef Rodolfo Correa. “He’s one of the Greater Philadelphia and South Jersey’s most celebrated seafood chefs and I’m so excited to get in the kitchen with him to give seafood lovers a taste of the Jersey Shore while supporting a cause that’s so unbelievably important.”
