About The Blank Table
The Blank Table is a dining platform founded by Chef Fred Keller and Alexandria Ott that has transformed the San Diego cultural experience by creating unlikely connections between strangers. The idea is to break bread as a micro-community, connect on topics you're passionate about and share ideas with advocates for positive change and economic growth throughout San Diego.
It’s incredibly important—and powerful!—to sit down at a table and take time away from the digital world while enjoying a world-class chef prepared 4-course meal with pairings by one the city's top mixologist. Add in a dash of local ingredients, stunning decor, stellar music at a secret location, and we know you will have a night you will never forget.

Past Dinners
Attend A Dinner
The Blank Table is designed as a secret dinner series, meaning there's a surprise element and some of the details won't be revealed until the day of the event. Once you've purchased your ticket & saved your seat, you'll receive a text at 2 PM on the day of your dinner revealing the location with a map link to your destination. Tickets are extremely limited, so we recommend you buy them right as they become available, or snag a season pass so you are able to attend all four dinners for the 2021 season.
