The Chef's Table Series is an intimate dining ritual—an evening of exceptional cuisine, thoughtful beverage pairings, and culinary storytelling gathered around a single communal table. Limited to just 10 guests, each chapter explores the traditions, flavors, and rituals that define Mediterranean coastal living.

Our inaugural chapter journeys to Spain, where long afternoons stretch effortlessly into evening and meals are meant to be savored rather than rushed.

Guided by Executive Chef Juan Carlos Lavalle, the evening unfolds through a multi-course tasting menu celebrating Spain's rich culinary heritage. Begin with traditional favorites including Spanish Tortilla, Pulpo a la Gallega, and Chorizo a la Sidra Crostini, before experiencing two expressions of Spain's most iconic rice dishes—authentic thin-layer paellas prepared to achieve the coveted socarrat, the deeply caramelized crust prized by chefs and home cooks alike.

The experience concludes with Torrejas, a classic Spanish dessert delicately scented with cinnamon and citrus.

Throughout the evening, each course is paired with thoughtfully selected Spanish wines, while Chef Lavalle shares the regional traditions, ingredients, and techniques that have shaped these timeless dishes.

This is dining as it was always meant to be—unhurried, communal, and centered around the simple pleasure of gathering together.
