Just a reminder — the Kitchen Bar returns this Friday and Saturday, August 28 and 29, and seats are almost gone.

Our regular Chef New service will be paused both nights, so this seven-course dinner with Vivian back behind the line is the only way to eat at Chef & the Farmer those two evenings.

Last chance to join us for this month's Kitchen Bar — this Friday and Saturday.

It's a seven-course dinner with Vivian, and seating is limited to just 20 guests total across both nights, so if you've been meaning to book, now's the time.

Quick reminder: our regular Chef New service will be closed both evenings for the Kitchen Bar experience.

Reserve your seat through the link in the comments before they're gone.

Just a reminder — the Kitchen Bar is happening this Friday and Saturday, August 21 and 22.

Our regular prix-fixe dinner service will be paused both nights, so this seven-course dinner with Vivian back behind the line is the only way to eat at Chef & the Farmer those two evenings. Seating is limited to 20 guests each night.

We'll be back to our Chef*New service on Sunday.

"My wife planned a private dinner at Chef and Farmer for my 40th birthday party and it was perfect. Vivian was amazing and so authentic. The food was amazing and it will be an experience I will cherish for a lifetime!" - Chris E. via Facebook

Moments like this are exactly why we love hosting private events. Whether it's a milestone birthday, an anniversary, or a celebration that deserves something special, Vivian and the team are here to make it unforgettable.

We're putting a pin in regular service this weekend at Chef to host Vivian Howard's Kitchen Bar. This intimate dinner party has easily become one of Vivian's favorite offerings at once both a love language to our guests and a platform for creativity. Through the seven courses, Vivian workshops new ideas and reworks old favorites, all while breaking it down for you as you watch her and her team prepare your meal. Think of it as dinner *and* a show.

So here's your reminder that the only service we'll offer this weekend is Kitchen Bar. These tickets are highly sought-after and usually sell out very quickly, but we've had some shifts in reservations and still have a few tickets left.

Reserve your seat at the link in comments, or comment KITCHEN BAR and we'll DM you the link to book.

Mark your calendar — Vivian's back in the kitchen. On August 12, the Kitchen Bar returns for one special evening: seven courses, one seating, and Vivian cooking alongside a few old friends from the line. Every dish comes with a story behind it, the way only she tells it.

Seating is limited to 20 guests, so this one fills up fast. Check the link in our comments to reserve your seat.

That's exactly the kind of night we love giving our guests. Watching the chefs prepare a three-course meal right in front of you isn't just dinner — it's an experience. And when a family walks in with three kids in tow? We make sure everyone at the table leaves happy, from the pre-fixe to the kids' plates.

Ready to see for yourself? We'd love to have you join us soon. Book your seats using the link in the comments.
