Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs):

(Updated on July 11th. 2023)

Q: Is my deposit refundable?

A: Yes, up to 7 days before your reservation. You will also receive a reminder text 7 days before your reservation from Chef Jess if you happen to forget. ;). If you have to cancel less than seven days prior to the reservation, we will not be able to refund your ticket. However, the tickets are transferrable.

Q: What is the difference between the omakase and supper club-style dinner?

A: You will be given a seven-course tasting menu with a wine pairing for both types of dinners. The difference is in the seating arrangements. The evenings with “omakase” will have bar/counter seating along with some limited table seating. The supper club style dining will be one long “communal” table, or split into two tables depending on the venue. It is NOT family-style dining. Each person will have their own courses. However, this dining experience will be more intimate and smaller than the normal dessert-tasting menu experience. Due to requests, this is something new that we are trying out for this pop up.

Q: Will there be savory items? Should I eat beforehand?

A: Although we use savory ingredients the desserts and try to blur the line between savory and sweet, these are still desserts. For those attending the earlier seating, we suggest you have a bite of something savory in advance, though we won’t judge you if you start off your evening with wine and desserts ;). There may be a few savory bites incorporated into this current menu.

Q: Do you accommodate those with allergies and dietary restrictions?
A: At the moment, since this is a prix fixe menu and it’s a one-woman show, we are not able to accommodate those with strict dietary restrictions. We hope to do so in the future! This menu contains gluten, gelatin, almonds, mushroons, and duck derived ingredients.**. No shellfish, pork, or raw alcohol. For this particular menu, we can accommodate those who cannot have mushrooms with a mushroom-free substitution. Although we maintain strict practices to avoid allergies, everything is manufactured in a facility that processes other products which (may) contain soy, alcohol, gelatin, dairy, wheat, tree nuts, peanuts, and eggs, and may contain traces of all of the above. If you have questions or concerns about the ingredients used for this menu, please feel free to contact us at experiencehedonisme@gmail.com and we are happy to let you know what ingredients will be used in the tasting menu.

Q: I don’t drink alcohol. Do you have non-alcoholic options?

A: For the very first time, we will have non-alcoholic pairings as well. Please notify us if any members will opt for the nonalcoholic pairing. Otherwise, all party members will receive a wine pairing with their dessert-tasting menu.
