take-care-of-me night: winter 2025

On Thursday, January 23rd (6-11 pm), El Lopo will be closed to the public for our fifth Take-Care-of-Me Night: an invite-only dinner-ish event where we make the things we want to make and you eat as many of those things as you want to eat. We don't call it a prix-fixe menu because nobody speaks French here, but more importantly because it isn't one; this works more like a magazine than a novel. Get here when you get here, and we'll offer you some of whatever is coming out of the kitchen at the moment. Some will be previews of new dishes coming onto the menu, some will be permutations of oldies but goodies, and some will be self-indulgent weird plates that we know nobody would order on a normal night. And we'll keep them coming until you're full or tired or bored. Drinks will be offered a la carta, although we can also pick out beverage pairings for you if that's your preference.

Tickets are $85 per person, and that covers all you care to eat for the evening. To ensure that all members of our Take-Care-of-Me Club get the opportunity to come, tickets are initially available only to members and their guests for a seven-day period. Pending additional availability, we'll open up some more seats from there to people we think are cool.

We'd love to see you make some new friends, so this will be an open-seating event by default. If you'd rather have a table to yourself though, we can reserve something for the first few groups who request one.

Did your invite get lost in the mail?

Don't take it personally. To ensure that all members of our Take-Care-of-Me Club get the opportunity to come, tickets are initially available only to members and their guests. Pending additional availability, we'll make some more seats available to friends and family. If you'd like to attend, just reach out and prove to us that you fall in one of those groups by naming at least three people who work at El Lopo. We'll follow up within a day to let you know if there's room.
