The Secret
Dining Room
A hidden table for twenty. Monthly, a featured celebrity chef opens the doors to strangers who become acquaintances. The rest of the month, The Secret Dining Room belongs to you — book your private event with the caterer of your choice.
01 — The Room
A room you have to be told about.
There is no sign on the street. You are given an address, a time, and a door. Step through it and the city disappears: one magnificent table, twenty chairs, candlelight, and a room built for the kind of evening people talk about for years. This is your room to fill with the guests you love most.
Or take a seat at ours. Once a month the doors open to just twenty guests, and our featured chef cooks one unrepeatable menu — whatever the market is offering at its peak and whatever they are longing to cook. Every course arrives thoughtfully paired with an exquisite wine, poured by people who cannot wait to tell you why.
Twenty seats. One night a month. We keep the guest list this small on purpose, because that is where the magic lives. The only question left is which invitation is yours.
