About this Event
Kamayan Feast. One Table. One Shared Experience.
Most dinners keep people at separate tables. Kamayan brings everyone together.
You will be seated at one long communal table with other guests. Banana leaves cover the table. The food is placed down the center and shared by everyone.
More than 20 Filipino favorites arrive together. You eat the traditional way, with your hands, passing dishes, tasting, and discovering flavors side by side.
Kamayan is not just a meal. It is a shared experience rooted in Filipino culture. Families gather this way. Friends gather this way. Even strangers become part of the table.
Come hungry. Sit together. Share the feast.
