Red Light District Dining Room and Social House Launches The Chef’s Table 10 Course Dining Experience

June 7, 2012

Red Light District has announced the launch of The Chef’s Table dining experience. And adaptation of a traditional Japanese omakase and prepared by Executive Chef Jason Maitland, the Chef’s Table dining experience plans to highlight the best local and seasonal ingredients that Southern California has to offer.

Tastings are $115 per person and start at 10 courses showcased in artistic and intricate presentations. Each course is specifically tailored for each party and is prepared and presented by the Chef himself.

Parties can be as intimate as two guests or a social gathering for parties up to eight. Tastings take approximately 2.5 hours, and The Chef’s Table will be reserved for the group for the entire evening.

“Mix & match” spirit and wine pairings are available beginning at $65 per person. Local California wine, microbrewed beer and hand-crafted cocktails created by Red Light District’s Master Mixologist Nick Majersky perfectly compliment the Chef’s Table dining experience.

“Get the full Red Light District culinary experience," said Sean Shoja, Owner of Red Light District. “We invite you to spend an evening dining at The Chef’s Table and indulge in the finest cuisine San Diego has to offer.”

The second course offers a choice of Housemade Papardelle Pasta, Crispy Red Mullet or Duo of Marinated Prime Filet & 48 Hour Sous Vide Short Rib.
