Algo más sobre esta experiencia


The evening starts with tropical sounds, a sultry cocktail, followed by a menu seasoned by the “Spice Trail” cuisines of The Caribbean with a modern Californian twist. African, Spanish, Taíno, and Middle Eastern (Jewish & Arabic) flavors come together to make up traditional Dominican dishes. It ends with a creamy coconut-rum dessert and stories.

What to expect:
• 3- course dining experience featuring traditional Dominican dishes made with locally sourced, organic and seasonal ingredients
• Craft cocktail upon arrival and Emillio's renown "coquito" for dessert
• Eclectic San Franciscan apartment located next to Alamo Square, home to the Painted Ladies monument
• Can cater to vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian and gluten-free options upon request

About your host Emillio:
"It is no coincidence that my last name, Mesa, translates to “table.” I was born to be a host. I am hospitality professional with 15+ years in hotel openings, catering management, and special events.

Why are sit-down dinners and cooking classes so powerful? The underlying main ingredient is the community aspect. It allows people to meet and “break bread” with different nationalities, races, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. "

* Menus can be customized for your dinner-event. Please ask how you can upgrade the experience for your special night.

It is no coincidence that my last name, Mesa, translates to “table.” I was born to be a host. Why are sit-down dinners so powerful? The underlying main ingredient is the community aspect. Every guest is a surprise. It tears down people’s perceptions of borders, allowing them to meet and “break bread” with different nationalities, races, genders, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The best way to make lasting memories, in a new city, is through a dinner party. **Please let me know if you have any food allergy/restrictions. **I only cook with fresh/seasonal ingredients.

The Welcome Cocktail

Sunset on the Mesa

A blend of passion fruit, mango, and apricot juices, mixed with vodka with a drizzle of rose-hibiscus syrup.

Appetizer

Hand-Crimped Fresh Empanadas

Filled with ground turkey, lentils, tomatoes and mixed-olives.
All homemade. Lightly fried in vegetable oil. Served with homemade salsa verde.



Main (Served Family-Buffet Style)

Slow Roasted Chicken & Shrimp in Red Wine Sofrito Sauce

Oven roasted chicken and shrimp served with homemade sauce: mixed tomatoes, chickpeas, onions, garlic, cilantro, olive oil and red wine

Spanish Yellow Rice

A classic cooked with turmeric, saffron, onions, garlic, and chicken broth with a hint of lemon.

The San Francisco Salad

Thanks to the Farmer’s Market, it celebrates the city’s vibrant flavors. It’s always different, because I take advantage of seasonal ingredients at the peak of their freshness

Dessert


The "Coquito." If you like coconut, you’ll love this! It's a thick and creamy (like melted ice-cream) drink that mixes coconut milk with sweet cream of coconut, almond milk, cinnamon and rum. This rich, authentic recipe is a tradition during Christmas in the Caribbean. Served over ice, with a large cinnamon stick.

Emilio was a great host! We had a lovely evening. Emilio is the most interesting person..We felt at home right away like we were sitting with a long time friend.

The empanadas and the other guests were the highlight of the event at Emillio's! However, the atmosphere was a bit odd (Emillio would occasionally make off-color or offensive comments). We overall had a great evening, but that was more because of the quality of the other guests rather than Emillio's hosting, which sometimes put us off. Unfortunately, I would not recommend or book again.

Superb dining experience. Emillio is a fabulous host with an extensive set of skills and stories to share. Our little family of 3 really enjoyed the evening.

We had a great meal at Emillio's! His home was lovely and very comfortable for my group, and he made us feel very welcome. The food was amazing and he was able to accommodate various dietary restrictions. He surprised me with the best gluten free cupcakes I've eaten to date for my birthday! Highly recommend this experience for an intimate dinner.
