The Motto

Out of many, one people.

Jamaica's national motto reflects the many cultures that came together to form one people. Those same cultures also shaped the island's cuisine — its ingredients, techniques, and traditions.

Experience 001 follows those threads through Caribbean fusion. Across five progressive courses, guests will discover how different influences met, evolved, and became distinctly Jamaican.

Five courses. An open bar. Music curated for the evening. The story behind every plate.
