ABOUT


Twelve guests, approximately four courses, once a month, under the stars in the hills of Hollywood. The food is seasonal and sourced primarily from local farmers' markets and whatever I can yank from my garden. Guests arrive for a cocktail and then dinner is served.

For reservations or inquiries email Dinner at Eight. Confirmation will be sent immediately upon receipt of e-mail reservation, and a reminder (address included) will be sent one day prior. Whether you decide to collect your most special friends and make a reservation, bring a date, or fly solo and meet a pile of new friends is entirely up to you. Either way this culinary adventure will be sure to satisfy and delight the taste buds. Just a suggestion: wouldn't this make a great surprise birthday or anniversary present?

Sunday, October 24: It's A Family Affair


It's a banner month for Dinner at Eight. The man who taught me to cook, my hero, my dad, will be in town and will be cooking this meal with me. We have conceived a menu that is inspired by all of my dad's favorite things to eat - deconstructed and reconstructed. And, of course, my mom will be on the dessert. It truly is a family affair!
