chef’s table dinners

Corridor’s Chef’s Table Dinner experiences are among Indianapolis's most sought-after tables. Reservations consistently sell out year after year. Our chefs will work with you to plan your menu and your evening. At the dinner, your party of 8 to 10 guests will be greeted with a reception on arrival and will sit at the butcher-block table in the kitchen with the chef as we prepare your four-course meal for the evening.

It’s definitely a night to remember for all!

2026 Corridor Chef’s Table Dinner Reservations

Chef’s Table reservations are sold out through 2026.

For 2024, we changed the game for booking our Chef’s Table Dinners—no more early morning stakeouts or sidewalk camping on 54th Street. Instead, we introduced a reservation lottery system, giving more people a fair chance to secure a spot at one of these special evenings. The response was incredible, and we’re excited to bring the lottery back again for 2026 reservations.

It’s simple: submit your entry during the lottery period, and when the window closes on September 14, we’ll randomly draw names and begin calling winners to book their reservations.

A few important things to know: These dinners are limited in quantity and reserved for groups of 8 to 10 guests. The cost is $1,750 for the evening (with a $250 non-refundable deposit)—split however you like among your party—and reservations are available Wednesday through Saturday on a first-come, first-served basis once your name is drawn. Only one entry per household is allowed, and all entries must be submitted through the official lottery form. No exceptions. Be sure to review all the FAQs below before entering, so you're ready when the dinner bell rings.

Keep in mind:

questions about our chef’s table dinners

  • Our Chef’s Table dinners are the hottest ticket in town — so hot, in fact, they sell out a full year ahead. To keep things fair (and fun), we use a lottery system so more folks have the chance to join us at the table.

    Each Monday in October, after the lottery closes, we’ll randomly draw 50 lucky names. If yours is one of them, we’ll reach out by email to let you know you’ve been selected. From there, you’ll have until Thursday evening to call us back and pick your date.

    A little tip: Fridays and Saturdays are the first to fly, so if you can wrangle your crew for a Wednesday or Thursday, your chances of landing your dream date go way up.

    Once all reservations are claimed, we’ll let everyone know the lottery is wrapped for the year. But don’t lose heart — life happens, and cancellations do pop up. That means even if you don’t score a spot right away, there’s still a chance you could find yourself at the Chef’s Table in 2026.

    If you have any questions, just call the shop!

  • No shortcuts, friends — these dinners are just too popular! All reservations start with our Chef’s Table lottery form on the website.”

  • Yes — we do ask for a $250 non-refundable deposit when you book. Think of it as saving your seat at the table! The deposit goes toward the $1,750 table price, so on the night of your dinner, you’ll just settle the remaining $1,500.

    Splitting the bill? Easy — we can do that any way you’d like at the table.

  • We know plans can shift — especially a year out. If you’re unable to make your reservation, you’re welcome to gift it to a family member or friend.

    All we ask is that you let us know, so we can update our records and be ready to welcome your guests.

  • Each household gets just one reservation date. Duplicate entries? We’ll spot them — and only the first will count.

  • Watch for new dinner opportunities on our social media, website, and events board in the shop.

    We offer prix-fixe dinners on Second Saturday and other evening events throughout the year. Sometimes, the Chef's Table opens up due to rescheduling or cancellations; get our emails to stay in the loop.

  • On January 21, we renamed our restaurant and market to Corridor. We're still the home of Nicole-Taylor's Pasta and use it in our dishes regularly.

    When you communicate with your guests, be sure to mention the sign outside says “Corridor,” now.

  • Your reservation holds the chef’s table for 8 to 10 of your friends or family.

    We’ll greet you at the start of your evening at 7p. You can bring your wine, beer, and spirits to the dinner or purchase wine or beer from us.

    When you arrive after we greet you in the Market, make your way back to the kitchen and find your seat at the butcher block table. Your chef will guide you through the evening and cook for you right before you.

    We tend to wrap up about 10p. Feel free to finish your drinks and browse in the Market after.

  • The dinner takes place in our kitchen at our large butcher block prep table. Because of this, the reservations are limited to 8 to 10 people.

  • The dinners usually start at 7p and tend to wrap up about 10p. Feel free to browse the Market after to pick up anything that you would like to take home.

  • One of our chefs will contact you at least a week before your dinner to discuss the menu and any dietary restrictions people in your party may have.

    They’ll work with you on the menu and share the final with you a couple of days before the dinner.

  • Once you and your party have reserved a date, we will contact you to customize your needs. This is your experience. 🙂

  • You can bring your own wine, beer, and spirits to the dinner or purchase wine or beer from us. When you are working through the menu, you can talk about wine pairings with your chef.

  • Of course! We hope you have a fantastic and enjoyable evening and want to take a few things home from the Market to help you remember your dinner.

  • I mean, we prefer you use forks and knives to eat the dinner — but if you’d like to use your hands … wait, do you mean will you be cooking the meal? No, the chef will be cooking the meal for you. 🙂
