Our Boston Interactive Meal is a fun and interactive dining experience that’s both your meal AND your activity, all-in-one. A four-course meal is the foundation, with engaging activities interspersed throughout, for a perfect balance of structured activities and unstructured time to relax and enjoy conversation with clients or co-workers.
Better than simply making a group reservation at a restaurant or just booking a private dining room, your dedicated Host invites guest to “Play With Your Food” in our classy-and-quirky Avital style. From making and shaking your own cocktail, to food & drink trivia with prizes, to our signature Flavor Finale experience, your guests will be surprised and delighted with a unique and memorable dining experience that’s anything but boring!
All of our Boston Interactive Meal packages include the following:
Including Cocktail Making, Foodie Activity of Your Choice, and Flavor Finale Tasting Experience
Including Amuse Bouche, Appetizers, Entree, and Dessert. Alcoholic or High-Quality NA Alternatives

Extra requests submitted after the deadline, especially day-of will be accommodated as best as possible, but may incur additional charges.
That’s okay! You can still book to reserve your date/time with an estimate and adjust later. We accommodate changes of +/- 10% from your original number. Ask your curator if you need special arrangements for larger changes.

You certainly can, but you may not feel the need! Our Interactive Meal includes 3 beverage pairings per person. For a 2-2.5 hour experience, we don’t recommend additional alcoholic beverage pairings. But you’re welcome to start a tab if you’d like to!
