Founder & Executive Chef

Cami is a chef, writer, and trained historian interested in the ancient origins of hospitality, the sociology of taverns, and the technology-resistant dimensions of food and eating. She has lived in the neighborhood since 2020, and happily divides her time between the front- and back-of-house.

Chef de Cuisine

Julie is a visual artist and chef from New Jersey. Before joining the Dinner Party team, her taste and technique were honed during her Bengali-American childhood and her time as a line cook and vegan cheese affineur in Philly’s vibrant food scene. At DP, she leads the kitchen with patience and unfailing humor, and her eye has been instrumental in shaping the restaurant’s distinctive visual character.

Executive sous chef

Oona is a proud Bay Area native who cut her culinary teeth in the high-volume kitchens of a mountain summer camp and beloved Oakland restaurant Pizzaiolo. As handy with a piece of old furniture as she is with a knife, Oona has been the staff’s rock since she joined the team shortly after moving to New York in 2023.

Beverage Director

Hailing from Massachusetts, Ezra is a cocktail savant and graphic designer who has been with Dinner Party since it re-opened at Hall Street in October 2024. Always a welcoming presence behind the bar, his Whiskey Sour is on many a staff member’s desert island drink list. When he’s not here, you can find him accompanied by a good book or winning games (mostly!) with his basketball team.

Lead Server

Sabi is a tattoo artist and student of philosophy with deep and effortless expertise in the front-of-house. As lead server and FOH elder, responsible for training all our new front-of-house staff, she maintains the inviting and intimate spirit that makes Dinner Party what it is. A native of Manila, she now holds the title of coolest girl in New York.
