Saks CEO Marc Metrick and actress Dakota Fanning hosted an intimate dinner party at the newly opened Sag Harbor Tavern in the Hamptons to celebrate the summer season in style with designers, friends of the brand and top clients. A memorable cocktail hour kicked off the evening with live music from Kate and the Sturdy Souls while guests were treated to oysters, caviar deviled eggs and croquettes alongside the stunning Sag Harbor waterfront. The family style meal featured Sag Harbor Tavern signatures such as the iconic burger, grilled whole branzino, summer ravioli and mini key lime pies. At the conclusion of the evening, guests enjoyed s’mores, coffee and cocktails by the fire pit.
