An intimate 20-seat communal dinner hosted by the elusive Chef Bear, featuring a five-course tasting menu with curated wine and cocktail pairings. Playful storytelling, seasonal ingredients, and a lively, social atmosphere make this immersive supper club unlike any traditional restaurant experience.
Alcoholic beverages
5 course dinner with wine/cocktail pairings + amuse bouche and welcome beverage
Gratuities
Cocktail hour at Nolita Hall prior to dinner
Your evening begins at Nolita Hall, where you’ll meet your fellow guests before the experience officially starts. Arrive a little early if you’d like to order a pre-dinner cocktail or glass of wine from the bar and settle in. At 7:00 PM, Chef Bear will collect the group and lead you into the private dining experience. You’ll be welcomed with a signature beverage and amuse-bouche pairing—the perfect opening act to spark conversation and set the tone for the evening. Seating is communal, designed to bring together travelers and locals alike around one shared table. The dinner unfolds over five thoughtfully crafted courses, each paired with a curated wine or cocktail selected to complement and elevate the dish. Throughout the evening, Chef Bear’s trusted human interpreter introduces each course, sharing inspiration, ingredients, and a bit of playful storytelling—while keeping the energy lively and the conversation flowing. The experience typically lasts approximately two hours, offering an intimate, immersive dining event that feels more like a secret supper club than a traditional restaurant reservation. Come ready to engage, indulge, and be part of something unforgettable.
