Introduction

What Membership Opens

The table has always been where we slow down enough to see each other.

Where strangers become collaborators, where curiosity leads to wonder, where flavors carry stories worth telling.

Membership is designed for people who want more of that. More presence. More discovery. More time with the chefs, mixologists, and fellow curators who make these gatherings resonate.

It's not about getting in—it's about showing up again and again.

Designed for Discovery, Not Just Access

Benefits

01 / Presence Over Rush

Early access means you can plan with intention instead of hoping for availability. Choose the dates that matter to you. Bring the people you want beside you. Experience the table without the scramble.

02 / Discovery That Compounds

The more you attend, the more you notice. You'll recognize returning faces, taste how menus evolve, and understand the stories behind ingredients. Depth reveals itself through repetition and presence.

03 / A Seat in the Creative Process

Test kitchens aren't just previews—they're collaborations. You taste what's being workshopped, offer your perspective, and help shape what eventually reaches the full table. This is co-creation, not consumption.

For the Chef’s Table only.

Community

You're Not Just Attending—You're Shaping

Members don't just show up. They shape what WE curate next.

This isn't a loyalty program—it's a community of people who believe the table still matters. Who think slowing down is a radical act. Who want to discover each other, as well as new flavors.

When you join, you become part of what we're building: a culture where hospitality means nourishment, where curation creates serendipity, and where every gathering is an occasion for possibility.

WHY FOUNDING MATTERS

The 2026 Founding Membership isn't just early access—it's permanent recognition as someone who believed in this vision from the outset. Your presence helps us build the foundation that makes everything else possible.

Founding Members are named. You're acknowledged at gatherings, recognized in our community, and given first opportunity to help us expand—whether that's testing new formats or hosting in your own space.

This initial membership is limited to only 20 people. Future members join a community you helped shape.

In Practice

A Year of Membership Might Look Like...

You start in spring with a cocktail experience—Kapri teaching you the Martinez while explaining its journey from San Francisco to the East Coast. You bring a colleague who becomes a friend.

Summer brings a Korean supper club where the chef walks you through fermentation techniques passed down through generations. You taste gochugaru three ways and understand why terroir matters beyond wine. Fall, you're invited to a members-only outing—a private distillery tour and tasting of a cask strength spirit that hasn’t been released yet.

Winter test kitchen: four guests, the chef, and a menu that doesn't exist yet. You taste. You react. You help decide what's ready for the wider table.

By year's end, you've attended six experiences, brought eight different guests, and the people you met at that first cocktail class are now sitting beside you at the Annual Friends & Family Celebration.

That's presence in practice.

From Our Guests

  • Natalia, The DC Supper Club

    "Wow! My friend and I had an incredible time at The DC Supper Club with Chef Ophus. Each and every course was beautifully plated and delicious! Chef Ophus described each meal and the story behind it, and it added an amazing touch to the experience. The seating arrangements were so intentional! I met some amazing people there, and we exchanged information to connect again in the future. A huge thanks to our hosts Lajuanda and Jae! This was such an amazing experience and I will be back again."

  • Tory, The DC Cocktail Experience

    "This was an amazing experience from start to finish. It feels like you’re having drinks with close friends. Nothing but nonstop laughs and tasty cocktails! 10/10 recommend."

  • Frank, Private Event

    "The atmosphere, the moment, the food, and the service were exceptional! Unmatched in my personal opinion. I've been fortunate enough to experience fine dining in various places, but this tops them all!!"

  • Don, The DC Supper Club

    "I've had some good dinners this year. My Saturday night with DC Urban Oasis made my year even more so. The ambiance, my fellow diners, the chef, the courses, the tastes. From the food to the cocktails, the entire experience is comfortably curated for a truly great experience. My night was worth every dollar. I look forward to going back!"

  • Kaylee, The DC Cocktail Experience

    "Fantastic experience! Every detail was thought out and the location was very upscale. I really enjoyed Kapri teaching us about the origins of the drinks she made and the spirits we tasted. It felt like a very well-curated experience—private yet very warm atmosphere. My husband and I really enjoyed talking with Jae and Lajuanda throughout the evening. Would definitely recommend as a fun date idea or night out with friends!"

  • Rion, Private Event

    "Atmosphere - intimate. Service - top tier. Food - delicious. What you have created is thoughtful, unique, wonderfully orchestrated, and enjoyable. Thank you for the opportunity to experience an amazing time of fellowship with the men who came to have an open and honest conversation about aspects of their life they don’t share publicly. 5 stars!"

  • Cecilia, The DC Cocktail Experience

    "Jae was incredible—I'd do this experience again in a heartbeat. There are some people who can make you feel like you've known them right after you've met them, and Jae is one of those people! Kapri welcomed us immediately, told the stories about the spirits, and then made (and involved us in shaking) the delightful cocktails. She customized the cocktails for my party, which was very thoughtful. If you are thinking about doing it—go for it! You won't be disappointed."

  • Nikel, The DC Supper Club

    "Great atmosphere, great energy, great food, and great people! High-end luxury and welcoming at the same time! Thank you!"

  • Tom, Corporate Client

    “We do this event every year, but this one with DC Urban Oasis was so spectacular, I don’t know how we will ever top this!”
