One Night. One Table. A Taste Built for a Purpose.

Join us for an exclusive, one-night-only dining experience as the Esplanade transforms into an intimate, open-fire dinner table. Community Table spotlights vibrant cultures through the lens of celebrated culinary talent, bringing people together around a single communal table for an unforgettable evening of food and impact.
