Producer Dinner at 18 reasons

























































The dining room and prep kitchen of 18 Reasons is tiny (about half the size of my living room), but we managed to seat 24 people and serve 6 courses and 4 wines. We started the meal with a presentation and tableside tofu and ended with a chocolate tofu pot de creme by Bi-Rite Creamery.
