Ada Dinner Series is a recurring monthly intimate dinner experience hosted in Downtown West Palm Beach, limited to just 12 guests per event. Each evening unfolds around a unique theme and a four-course private chef menu inspired by my culinary journey — blending bold flavors, coastal ingredients, and personal storytelling. Open to all, these evenings are as much about the people as the food.
UpcomIng ADA DINNER SERIES
Join us for an evening unlike anything you’ll find at a restaurant.
Wok & Water is an intimate exploration of fire and sea, taking place on Saturday, April 18th, 2026— a modern Chinese seafood tasting inspired by tradition, technique, and memory. Each course moves through contrast and balance: delicate and bold, steamed and wok-fired, refined yet deeply comforting. Designed for just 12 guests, this evening is about slowing down, gathering around the table, and experiencing Chinese flavors through a contemporary lens. One night. Don’t miss it.
