Izakaya Inspired Dinner Series

Oka in New York

Our first collaboration with Oka turned into a big milestone for the TC community, as we hit a record number of attendees over the course of 3 days (almost 200 tix sold!). And, the last day of the series was our first-ever 2-seating weeknight event, which has incredibly exciting implications for the community - more to come on that soon! Anyway, enough about us... Simply put, Chef John McCarthy and his team KILLED IT! Attendee feedback was beyond positive across the board. Every course received positive ratings, so take the ratings below with a grain of salt, but here are the 3 top courses from each event as rated by attendees on their feedback cards:
