The Procession

The Procession

Each course, a place.
American terroir, hand to table.

"The best meal I have had in America this decade."

— Constance Okafor, The New American Table

The Table

Every occasion
deserves a meal that rises to it.

Mesa seats thirty-two guests each evening. The kitchen runs one seating. The room is yours for the night.

An Anniversary

Make it unforgettable.

We set the table so the evening can set itself. Private pacing, a note from the kitchen, a bottle held from last harvest.

Private pacing available on request
