About The Experience Upcoming Membership The Dinner My Why

Chicago · Private Dining

An intimate table where food becomes a shared language and the meal is an act of care.

Scroll

A table for the ones who show up hungry for food, for conversation, for each other.

The Velvet Spoon is a private dinner series hosted in Chicago by Brittini, a creator, dreamer, and self-taught cook who has spent years feeding people as her most honest act of love.

These dinners are not about a restaurant experience. They are about community. About gathering with people who value presence, who appreciate the details, who understand that a good meal shared with the right people becomes a memory you carry.

Every guest at this table was invited intentionally. Every course has a theme and a purpose behind it. The Velvet Spoon is Brittini's way of pouring back into the people who matter most to her. A space where strangers become familiar, where food opens conversation, and where everyone leaves fuller than when they arrived.

What a Velvet Spoon dinner feels like

Intimate by design

Never more than 15 guests. Every seat is filled with intention. You will know the people across from you by the time you leave.

Themed and storied

Each dinner has a cultural narrative at its center. A geography, a tradition, a season. The menu is built around it from first course to last.

Multi-course and made with care

No shortcuts. Every dish is thought through. Guests receive a digital menu at the table that goes beyond the plate and into the story behind the food.

The Party That Never Ends

A Haitian-inspired rooftop dinner for twelve. The flavors are bold, the music is low, and the evening unravels exactly as it should — slowly, joyfully, without urgency.
