This round’s theme

Back to School

Think high school, but hotter. Valedictorian, art kid, jock, theater kid, the one who peaked — whatever your version of coolest kid in school looks like, wear it.

Eat the entire new fall menu. Drink like a grown-up. Party like you don’t have homework.

There might be a prize.

FAQ

What is a Menu Party?
A private tasting where you eat through our new menu before anyone else. You eat, drink, vote on dishes, and help decide what stays. Round 13 is the fall menu.
What is included?
Six new dishes from Chef Juan, a welcome drink, plus games, chef stories, and prizes — including the Best Dressed Awards. $69 per person.
What is the dress code?
Back to School. Interpret it however you want — valedictorian, art kid, jock, the one who peaked. Best Dressed is judged around 9:00, so commit.
Allergies or vegetarian?
We will have vegetarian dishes and a gluten-free pizza option. Since it is a set menu, we cannot customize every dish. Reach out if you are unsure.
How is it served?
A private communal-style dinner — one seating, everyone eats together. You will leave full, and yes, leftovers can come home with you.
Can I cancel or get a refund?
We get it, life happens. Cancel any time up to 48 hours before the event and we will refund you in full. After that we have already started prepping — dough rising, fish ordered, your seat held — so we cannot refund. But your ticket is yours: pass it to a friend any time, no heads-up needed.
