The Noir Experience provides elevated dinner, social, and creative experiences, which are executed through exclusively curated menus, within immersive and creative environments, encapsulated by good energy at the core of a rich Black culinary experience.

Our story

A Noir Experience goes beyond the biological necessity for just nourishment and entertainment.

Our culture, Our People have always intertwined with music, art and movement and somewhere all along the journey, society’s fabric has covered our understanding and memory of our essence. We see examples of this all around us. One month to celebrate our black history so we can authenticate our existence, one month where we get to show up, when we are here everyday, all year. One weekend when we can honor our musical heritage, where jumping and waving can be a distraction to the significance of our reasons for celebrating.  

In essence, our costumes have masks which we adorn to either hide or display with the intention to be accepted by others before accepting our true selves. Noir chooses to be different, waving the smoke in the mirror, we open the doors of self acceptance, and are now lifting the veil on the magic that was cleverly cloaked. 

A Noir Experience is about taking our power back through culinary, creative and experiential moments. Creating experiences which gives our creative and culinary community spotlighted on our chefs, a space to be unapologetic. In the kitchen, as well as in the creative event space, we are a conduit that informs and engages our community and allies together, through consistency and collaboration. 

A Noir Experience is about liberation through food, with creative essences woven through and around.  Our History as a collective of people comes from the understanding that the resistance in an industry that does not often let us lead, is a mirage that we do not have to accept. 

This is The Noir Experience.
