DC Design Week presents Plated, a dinner where the table is a canvas and each course an experiment in design. Across the evening, guests are invited to see how food, when composed with intention, moves beyond the plate—becoming a medium for storytelling, conversation, and connection.

The night begins with a reimagined palette cleanser and welcome tasting from Chef Demi, before guests are seated for a progression of dishes paired with aromatic cocktails and sips.

Chef Toya Henry and her Opal team will guide guests through a multi-course menu where each plate is treated as artwork—exploring form, texture, and story through food.

The evening concludes with a special surprise, leaving guests with an impression that lingers in taste and imagination.
