| THE DRUNK MONKEY GOURMET CLUB |
| Welcome to Chef Jon Sears’ The Drunk Monkey Gourmet Club monthly Theme Dinners. Experience Chef Sears’ celebrated culinary artistry in our elegant 1900’s bungalow in one of our three intimate dining rooms. Delight in the decorative touches, evocative music and premier service designed around each menu’s theme. Join us. Chef/Owner Jon Sears unveiled the Drunk Monkey Gourmet Club shortly after his decision to cease traditional nightly dinner service at his highly regarded restaurant, The Dining Room in San Mateo. His concept was to create a dining club for his guests in a private restaurant setting. The Drunk Monkey Gourmet Club, named partly after Chef Sears’ astrological sign, the Monkey, is a unique blend of an upscale gourmet club with whimsical notes. Of course, monkeys are also just plain funny, and “when you put a drink in a monkey’s hand, it’s even funnier,” Sears explains. “It’s a delicate combination of fine dining, based on a theme, with theatrical presentation,” he says. “We try to make our guests feel like they’re on a monthly global journey, treating them as if they’re the only ones in the world. It’s their club in which they can escape from their busy schedules to dine in a secluded environment.” Along with guiding diners on a culinary journey, Chef Sears is able to produce a total dining experience. Fueling his passion is the constant change that the Drunk Monkey Gourmet Club offers. With assistance from Designing Event Coordinator Tara Solaegui-Ransfer and long time Director of Service and Chief Head Waiter, everything from lighting to music, ambiance and accoutrements are thoughtfully planned to accent and complement the month’s themed dinner. The Drunk Monkey Gourmet Club is open to all culinary enthusiasts. The Monthly Tasting Theme Menu is emailed to everyone that has requested to be a part of this unique adventure. The Seven Course Chef’s Tasting Menu, with such titles as “Thai Me Up,” “A Gatsby Dinner” or “Mambo in Your Mouth” typically range from $125 per person and up. A billing completion prior to dinner confirms your reservation. We take pride in not having to press our guests for time or space, so attendance is limited to a maximum of twenty guests per dinner. Dinners are every Saturday of the month, depending on holidays, and seatings begin at 5:30 p.m. To request a reservation time, guests may email their information to jon@chefjonsears.com to receive confirmation. Please plan for two and a half to three hours for you and your guests to enjoy the Journey that is The Drunk Monkey Gourmet Club.
