The Chef’s Counter at Babylon Mercantile Pull up a seat at The Chef’s Counter and experience an evening in the heart of our kitchen, where just a few guests are invited to dine alongside Chef Andrew Richmond. It’s an intimate, interactive night that brings you closer to the craft of cooking. Each dinner is a seasonal surprise—no menus in advance, just a thoughtful progression of six or more courses that always include a freshly made bread or pasta, a seafood dish, a meat course, a vegetable-focused plate, and a dessert. The dishes are imaginative, expressive, and rooted in the chefs’ deep love of food and storytelling. As each course is prepared and plated in front of you, you’re welcome to ask questions, chat with the chefs, and enjoy the rhythm of the kitchen. Wine pairings are selected and presented by Chef Andrew, our in-house sommelier, whose insights add depth and warmth to the experience. With only a few seats available each evening, The Chef’s Counter is a chance to connect, learn, and enjoy a truly personal night of food and conversation. This dinner is part of The Table, by the Merc—a culinary series celebrating connection through shared meals and seasonal creativity. Please contact us about any dietary restrictions prior to booking. We’ll do our best to accommodate, though we are unable to guarantee adjustments for severe allergies.
