Weekly Chef's Table Dinner at the Cafe

Join us for our weekly Chef’s Table Dinner at the café, an intimate Filipino American dining experience designed to bring people together around the table. This is a communal Chef’s Table experience, where all guests are seated together at one shared table, creating a relaxed, welcoming evening centered on food, conversation, and connection.

This weekly dinner series takes place every Thursday and Friday evening, with seatings at 6:00pm and 8:30pm. Each seating is limited to 90 minutes to allow for a smooth and thoughtful dining flow.

This is a reservation-only experience. Reservations and a deposit are required to secure your seat. Deposits will be applied toward your total bill and are non-refundable but may be transferred to another guest for the same event date and seating only (not valid for future events). Due to the intimate, single-table format and closely scheduled seatings, prompt arrival is important. Guests arriving more than 15 minutes after the start of their seating will not be admitted and will forfeit their deposit.

House-made soft drinks will be available for purchase, and guests are welcome to bring their own beverages. Please note that we are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies. Walk-ins cannot be accommodated.

Seating is very limited for this one-table Chef’s Table experience, and advance reservations are strongly encouraged.

For questions, please email .

Please note: While many dishes are naturally gluten-free, our kitchen is not allergen-free. We are unable to modify dishes to accommodate allergies or dietary restrictions. Guests with severe allergies should consider this carefully before dining with us.
