À propos de l'expérience

The evening starts with tropical sounds, a sultry cocktail, followed by a menu seasoned by the “Spice Trail” cuisines of The Caribbean with a modern Californian twist. African, Spanish, Taíno, and Middle Eastern (Jewish & Arabic) flavors come together to make up traditional Dominican dishes. It ends with a creamy coconut-rum dessert and stories.

What to expect:
• 3- course dining experience featuring traditional Dominican dishes made with locally sourced, organic and seasonal ingredients
• Craft cocktail upon arrival and Emillio's renown "coquito" for dessert
• Eclectic San Franciscan apartment located next to Alamo Square, home to the Painted Ladies monument
• Can cater to vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free options upon request

About your host Emillio:
"It is no coincidence that my last name, Mesa, translates to “table.” I was born to be a host. I am hospitality professional with 15+ years in hotel openings, catering management, and special events.

Why are sit-down dinners and cooking classes so powerful? The underlying main ingredient is the community aspect. It allows people to meet and “break bread” with different nationalities, races, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. "

* Menus can be customized for your dinner-event. Please ask how you can upgrade the experience for your special night.
