Event Details

We are excited to continue the Art Center Café’s signature culinary experience: Dinner with Friends. Be our guest as we gather around the table with friends for a lighthearted evening of laughter, conversation, and live music in the cozy setting of the café. Each dinner features a unique menu inspired by our special guest hosts and prepared by the Art Center Café’s Executive Chef Stephanie Williams.

For the third installment of our fall dinner series, we’re welcoming Tar and Erika Macias. Together, Tar and Erika run Hola America, a bi-lingual news platform and media group. Their dinner will celebrate the flavors and traditions of Latino cuisine, with a creative twist from Chef Williams. Join us for an evening that brings together food, community, and the stories that connect us.

$125/person; all-inclusive.

Reservations are required; payment will be taken on the night of the event. Tickets include a four-course meal and beverages. First seating begins at 5 pm and seating ends at 6:15 pm. Please share any dietary restrictions when making your reservation. Limited capacity. Tables seat six; smaller parties will be seated together for a festive evening of community and togetherness.
