WHAT YOU’LL DO
An evening of storytelling, curated conversation and a four-course farm-to-table dinner grown on-site.
Gather your team for a one-of-a-kind evening where killer food meets real stories in this team building activity hosted at a historic West Adams craftsman home and microfarm. The night begins in the garden with a welcome cocktail and bar bites, mingling among the very beds where some of the evening's ingredients were grown, before moving inside to the table for a four-course dinner built entirely around that week's harvest – so no two nights taste quite the same.
Once seated, your group settles in for a live performance from a guest storyteller built around the evening's theme, then shares stories of their own around the table with thoughtful prompts to spark conversation. Not your night to share? You're just as welcome as an active listener. It's a genuinely different kind of team experience – part meal, part performance, part connection – set in a beautiful and distinctive space. Book this team building activity today.

I’ve been here multiple times now and every time I come, I’m reminded how special this place is. Kristina is truly incredible, and you can feel how much care and intention go into everything she makes. The food is genuinely some of the best I’ve ever had. It’s thoughtful, comforting, and feels like the kind of meal you’d have at home, but elevated in the best way. The whole experience is warm and welcoming, like you’re sitting down with family and being served something made with love.
It’s also such a perfect place to host an event. I could easily see this being amazing for corporate dinners, birthdays, or any celebration where you want it to feel personal and memorable, not overly formal. If you haven’t been yet, I really recommend it. It’s one of those places you leave already thinking about when you can come back.

Kristina and her staff were so incredibly attentive and welcoming. It was remarkable how the experience managed to feel both more exclusive than a typical fancy Los Angeles dinner and as comfortable as dining in a close friend's home … I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and exceptional experience for their team.
Donato,
Our experience was truly out of this world. We had the pleasure of hosting a private dinner for our community of spiritually curious entrepreneurs and were completely blown away by the unforgettable culinary journey that awaited us. From the moment we stepped inside, we were transported into a magical dimension where every detail had been thoughtfully curated with the utmost care. The enchanting garden, beautiful decor, seamless flow of the night, and spectacular service made it a captivating
moment for all of us. Working with Kristina on the event logistics was a dream, leaving no aspect overlooked. The entire dinner experience truly reflects Kristina's nature: spontaneous, heart-led, meticulous, and effortlessly chic. And it's the extra level of care provided by Kristina and her wonderful team that leaves both the soul and palate deeply nourished.

We booked an end of year appreciation dinner for our organization’s board, leadership and staff. From the moment we walked up to the house, we were transported into a space where we could just enjoy each other’s company, share stories and eat an incredibly delicious farm-to-table meal. Kristina is an amazingly attentive host. In our busy day-to-day, we seldom get a chance to connect as a team and hear about our life experiences that are not work-related. The beautiful atmosphere and their kind hospitality created a welcoming space where our board and staff could bond over storytelling, a passion we all share. Thank you to our host, Kristina, and the fantastic staff for enabling us to get closer as a team. We look forward to scheduling more events here - it truly is a magical setting!

Our team absolutely loved the experience. From the very start, we felt so welcome and at home in the beautiful house and gardens by Kristina and her family, who curated a delicious meal and an authentic, meaningful storytelling experience for us. We ended up opening up to each other in ways that we could never have expected, and it has just served to bond us even closer and make our work together that much more powerful and enjoyable.

We held a brand event here and it couldn't have gone better. Throughout the entire process, Kristina was the picture of collaboration, from developing the menu to planning out the decor, to curating influencers for our guest list. She even helped to name our event. Like any creative endeavor, things either come out better than you expected or not as well as you'd hoped. This was better than we could've ever imagined.
Liz,
It's not just a dinner party, but an experience that reminds you what connection means. Hosted by Kristina in her stunning West Adams home, the evening feels like being welcomed by a dear friend.
It begins in her garden with appetizers and drinks among the veggies & plants that will grace your plate. A professional storyteller shares a heartwarming performance that becomes the evening's theme. Guests are gently invited (no pressure!) to share their own
related stories, and what could feel awkward becomes natural.
I arrived alone and left with friends. The connections felt serendipitous, meant to be. Our table shared laughter and tears; it was a profound experience in a time when isolation feels overwhelming.
The food was exceptional and fresh. Kristina's bread deserves special mention; I could have eaten my weight in it!
The experience offers something rare: a chance to share our humanity in a cozy, warm, and genuinely welcoming atmosphere. I can't recommend it enough!

What a night to remember! Kristina knows how to throw a party! I wanted a big bang for my 40th, but get anxiety about hosting and so I sought out Chef Kristina to help. Almost a year later, my friends are still raving about the food, the food, the food and the ambiance, and our warm and delightful host. I didn't have any anxiety about the party and I was fully able to sit back and enjoy myself and my friends. You will not regret having a party at Kristinas!
Nadia
Wow, this was truly one of the best experiences I’ve ever attended! Kristina is an incredible host. From the thoughtful welcome details and beautiful table settings to the flower-embellished drinks and delicious food, everything was so well thought out.
The whole evening felt like good friends gathering after many years. Kristina has created the storytelling in such a special way that connecting feels effortless — even the introverts at our table quickly felt at home and were sharing amazing stories.
I honestly thought there was no way the other tables were having as much fun as ours, but after talking to others, I realized every table felt exactly the same way! Kristina is a true hospitality specialist, and together with her amazing team she makes you instantly feel at home. Can’t wait to come back and bring more friends! Thank you Kristina and the team!
Silvia
Chef Kristina creates such a warm and welcoming experience. The combination of storytelling and thoughtfully prepared dishes featuring produce grown in her own garden made this so much more than a team dinner, creating a relaxed atmosphere where everyone could connect and enjoy the evening together. A truly memorable experience and a fantastic choice for teams looking for something a little different!
