This year's birthday dinner at Vespertine stirred up quite the reaction whenever I mentioned it. But probably my favorite response was watching my husband's face as I read the official press materials, describing it as "a place of shadows and whispers."
He looked confused, but I continued -- explaining it would be a 20+ course meal, consisting mostly of unidentifiable food, served on dinnerware that looked more at home on the Starship Enterprise than say, in Culver City. Plus, the entire wait staff wore frocks that resembled the wardrobe from The Handmaid's Tale.
Like a good husband, he agreed to go without too much resistance. And booked the reservation -- paying a required upfront cost of $250 per person (not including drinks). Clearly, this isn't a cheap date. But I didn't view this as a typical dinner out. It's more of a performance piece.
Chef Jordan Kahn has quite an impressive resume -- working at some of the country's most notable restaurants including Chicago's Michelin-starred Alinea and Thomas Keller's Per Se (at 17-years-old, the youngest-ever to work in Keller's kitchen). Plus, the great food critic Jonathan Gold ranked Vespertine as his no. 1 pick on his very last "101 Best Restaurants" list in Los Angeles.
Each of the dishes were unique -- but honestly, our favorite part was getting the backstory on each entree and trying to figure out how to eat it. Plus, when you have 20+ dishes, it's tough to narrow it down. We pretty much enjoyed all of them. But we appreciated the spectacle of it the most -- like the choreographed routine of the wait staff when delivering a dish.
The building has also been described as a spaceship. The chef even went as far as telling GQ Magazine that the building is "a machine artifact from an extraterrestrial planet" and that it was "left here a billion years ago by a species that were moon worshipers," and that the building "has its own gravity." Whatever the case -- we thought it was pretty cool!
Before heading out, they served 3 more aperitifs, hot tea and sliced fruit. And just when I thought I couldn't drink or eat anything else, the last frock-wearing waiter for the evening asked if we'd like to "revisit" anything else. We kindly passed. After all, we've returned to Earth -- and felt about 10 pounds heavier. Maybe they were right after all -- that Vespertine is a spaceship and has no gravity inside. Now only if they could make that magic happen when I weigh myself next at the gym!
