MARU LOS ANGELESA supper club designed to provide great food with even better conversation. With the rise of smart phone usage, ‘foodies', and social media, our team has discovered our demographic's pain point,: the desire for genuine, purposeful conversation.WHAT DOES ‘MARU' MEANMaru in Korean means ‘wooden floors', referring to the wooden floors found in traditional Korean living rooms — a place where Korean families often gather for a meal. Maru is based on this tradition, as we re-create that memorable feeling of gathering, except around our wooden table. OUR MISSIONis to revolutionize the restaurant industry by incorporating a social aspect into fine dining. Our events, or ‘tasting series', are presented through the flavors of a multi-course tasting menu, surrounded by an intimate gathering of strangers and friends alike, and remembered as an experience unlike any other.HOW IT WORKSOur team hand selects 5 guests from our invitation list (currently +370 guests) to attend a ‘tasting series' with a plus one. Our BOH team works to create a dynamic tasting menu, with an emphasis on Korean and Italian cuisine. Our FOH team is intimately involved in the experience, providing questions to elicit unique conversations amongst the 5 pairs of strangers.WHAT YOU LEAVE WITHCome eat and meet. Leave with a satisfied palate and new relationships since that's what we value the most.
