Right after the 83rd annual Academy Awards, celebrities headed over to the Governor’s Ball taking place next door where guests were treated to a special menu created by Wolfgang Puck.

Appetizers included a sushi and shellfish station, smoked salmon on Oscar flatbread with caviar and crème fraiche, and black truffle pizza with ricotta and thyme.

There were three of Wolfgang’s signature salads, pan-roasted Dover sole, vegetable risotto “paella” and asparagus with Iberico ham and black truffle aioli.

In the background, a live band played and Moet and Chandon Champagne was found everywhere for consumption. This year’s ball was designed to resemble classic Hollywood nightclubs with décor modeled after three musical styles: classic standards, Latin and swing.
