The Dinner Table at Mesiba (Williamsburg)
A Dinner Party Where Strangers Become Friends
We're crossing the bridge. For the first time in a long time, we're bringing The Dinner Table to Williamsburg — and we're kicking it off at Mesiba, a Tel Aviv-inspired restaurant whose name literally means "party" in Hebrew. An evening of contemporary Levantine cuisine, innovative cocktails, and the kind of connection that happens when strangers share a table.
"The demographic of attendees was awesome. Everyone was engaging and interested in getting to know one another." — NYC Guest
The Experience
Mix & Mingle Session — Meet the group over a complimentary glass of wine before we sit down
Seat rotations between courses so you meet everyone at the table
Conversation prompts to keep things flowing (light and optional)
Intimate group size — Curated for good energy and real connection
Family-style dinner — 3 courses of Levantine cuisine + a complimentary glass of wine after check-in
About the Venue
Mesiba means "party" in Hebrew — and it lives up to the name. Recognized by the Michelin Guide and named one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn, it's the first NYC signature restaurant from Bar Lab Hospitality, the team behind The Broken Shaker (World's 50 Best Bars four years running). The menu is the work of Chef Eli Buli, who trained at Tel Aviv's renowned Herbert Samuel before cooking at Eleven Madison Park and Bustan in New York.
