Introducing The Dharma Table
“One road, many flavors.”
We’re excited to introduce The Dharma Table, a new series of intimate tasting dinners at Dharma Bums — evenings built around food, story, and connection, where each course is part of a larger journey.
At our core, Dharma Bums lives at the crossroads — where cultures meet, ideas wander, and new paths appear. The Dharma Table is an extension of that spirit: a space to slow down, gather together, and experience a thoughtfully composed meal from start to finish.
Our first tasting dinner takes place Thursday, February 19th at 6pm, guided by our chef Mike Jackson, whose creative, forward-thinking approach to vegetarian cooking has helped shape Dharma Bums into an award-winning destination for bold, unexpected food.
For this opening dinner, Mike presents French casual × Vietnamese soul — weaving technique and comfort with brightness, herbs, fermentation, and depth. The result is a menu that feels both grounded and alive, familiar yet quietly surprising.
The evening is paired with natural wines curated by Gail Nyvelt of The Wine Merchant Ltd., who brings over 20 years of experience in the wine industry. The selections are chosen to reflect the same philosophy as the food — expressive, intentional, and closely connected to place — aligning seamlessly with both the flavors of the meal and the Dharma Bums ethos.
Throughout the night, Mike and Gail will guide the experience, sharing the influences and choices behind each course and its pairing, inviting guests into the story behind the meal.
$130 per guest, including wine pairings, service, and ticket fees.
Tickets are available via the website below and through the bio. Advance tickets only — no walk-ins. Tickets are limited.
