The Herb Lyceum’s May Speaker’s series brings delicious, floral menu offerings together with food for the mind, harkening back to the United States’ historical Lyceum movement or even to Aristotle’s own Lyceum.
Aristotle created The Lyceum, or Academy, to promote learning in Athens. Here in Groton, Massachusetts a couple of millenia later, we invite speakers for our Spring Wednesdays to share their knowledge and enjoy a meal in our dinner-party style seating format. Each cmonthly menu is unique and includes our chef de cuisine's spin on the theme.
On May 17th, please join us and master beekeeper Kathy Balestrier of The Colony (Tyngsboro, MA) for a deep dive dedicated to our most iconic pollinators, from egg to hive to honeycomb. The menu will feature Carlisle honey, as well as mead, produced at the Colony’s amazing local facility.
Here at The Herb Lyceum, we serve a prix fixe tasting menu without choices. We understand that’s not for everyone. We do try to provide alternative options for courses that may not appeal to all diners, but because the menu is limited, we aren’t able to offer a wide variety of choices. If you prefer to have more control over your dining experience, we are happy to suggest some of our favorite places to eat in the area.
Your ticket includes service costs (gratuity may be left on beverage orders). Eventbrite fees and tax will be added at the time of purchase. As of August 1st, 2021 we have our liquor license, and are no longer BYOB. We have a well-curated menu of house beverages, including wine, beer and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase on premises to enjoy with your dinner.
Tickets sold are for one seating starting at 6pm.
Due to the small, cozy nature of our carriage house, our dinner guests will be seated family style at long tables. Private tables during the colder months are not available.
If you are coming in a group and will not be able to purchase tickets together, please send along their names so we can seat you all together if possible.
If you have any allergies or dietary restrictions, please email Ryan@herblyceum.com at least 24 hours ahead of time to allow us to prepare any accommodations or amendments to the menu.
As these events are planned and prepared for many days out, we require at least 24 hours notice on all cancellations. Tickets are non-refundable due to weather or other circumstances unless we are able to fill your seat with a waitlisted individual. Tickets are transferable.
