To celebrate the Philadelphia Museum of Art’s not-to-be-missed summer exhibit opening Wednesday, June 20, Gauguin, Cezanne, Matisse: Visions of Arcadia, the museum’s East Terrace will transform into a Polynesian oasis for a Tiki Pop-Up Restaurant hosted by STARR events and Granite Hill restaurant.
And unlike last year’s one-night-only event, the island-inspired dinner will take place during three nights, Thursday, June 28 through Sunday, July 1, 6-9 p.m., during which guests can enjoy a lengthy list of specially handcrafted cocktails, mains, sides, salads and dessert.
For $48 per person (excluding tax and tip), the feast appropriately includes a whole roasted pig, Hawaiian coffee-smoked baby back ribs, butterfish and macadamia pesto wrapped in banana leaves, molokai sweet potato with caramelized onion and cinnamon rum butter, and pineapple upside down cake. Peep the whole menu here (PDF).
At the bar, rum is the star of the lineup with sips of Pink Flamingos, Mai Tai, the Big Kahuna, Polynesian Princess and more. Diners will receive one complimentary cocktail for the evening, otherwise it’s cash bar.
Reservations can be made by calling (215) 684-7990. And we suggest you act fast; we just got word the first three nights are already sold out!

Is this really on the first of July? The Art Museum’s site and menu say it’s the 28th, 29th and 30th.
They’ve added an additional fourth day, July 1, due to popular demand!
I went to the museum’s tiki restaurant last night and it was so fun! They had a steel drum band playing that was awesome and the drinks were heavenly. The food was authentic to Hawaii (even had spam!). We all had a blast. Even received little take home trinkets.
