FAQs
-
We're looking for people who love to eat, love being around others who share that passion, and appreciate the joy of communal experiences around the table. We won't accept anyone who disrespects front of house staff, devalues the immigrant communities that are key to restaurants, or is generally rude or unpleasant.
-
Our goal is to provide experiences that you cannot plan for yourself. Our events will always include something that sets them apart, whether that’s off-menu items, custom prix-fixe experiences, access to chefs, or bespoke pairings.
-
Your membership is what allows you to buy tickets to events. Each member will be allowed to purchase one ticket for themselves and another ticket for a guest.
-
Member pricing varies based on what the event actually costs to create, and events are never marked up. We also provide discounts for Gold members for some events.
Think of your membership as guaranteed access to tickets, and you can choose which events to attend.
We’ll never upcharge—if an event costs $150 per person to produce, that's the most you would pay. -
Everything. When you buy a ticket, the price includes food, drink, taxes, fees, and gratuity. You show up, enjoy the experience, and leave. There's no additional spend needed at events.
-
We’ll announce events with enough lead time for you to plan—typically 3-4 weeks minimum. For really special events, you may get even more notice.
Gold members will get early access to tickets 48 hours early, providing first crack at limited-capacity events.
-
Guest tickets can be purchased for any event where you have a member ticket. You can bring different guests to different events—no need to designate one person as "your guest" for the year.
Guest tickets are purchased at the same time as your member ticket when you register for an event.
-
Event tickets are non-refundable, but we understand life happens. If you give us enough advance notice and we’re able to resell your spot, we will refund you (minus processing fees). The earlier you let us know, the better chance we can fill your seat.
-
It varies. Some events will be intimate gatherings—maybe 10-12 people around a chef's counter. Others might feel like a larger dinner party with 30-40 people.
The size will always match the experience. A whisky tasting with a master distiller? Intimate. A progressive meal through Lincoln Square's best Thai spots? We can bring more people along.
