UPCOMING DATES

The Brown Butter Boys Supper Club was founded by Chef Michael Romo in 2021 as a response to the barriers observed within traditional fine dining. After years in acclaimed kitchens — Kali (1 Michelin star), Restaurant Adia under Chefs Karlo Evaristo & Jared Ventura, Chianina Steakhouse, and L’Opera Ristorante — it became evident that there was an indelible gap between the artistry of cuisine and the accessibility of the experience.

The Brown Butter Boys sought to reconcile that divide by reimagining the tasting menu as a hyperseasonal, community-driven format: nine-course dinners offered at an approachable price point, staged in rotating intimate spaces across Long Beach and beyond.

The concept resonated immediately — the inaugural year sold out in just two months, and dinners have continued to sell out rapidly ever since. Our story has also been featured in LB908 Magazine.

Our guiding principle remains clear: For the Community, By the Community.

To bridge the gap between fine dining and community. We create tasting menus that honor the discipline of Michelin-level kitchens while remaining approachable, welcoming, and rooted in Long Beach — guided by discipline, yet laced with irreverence, a balance that keeps each evening magnetic and unmistakably ours.

Each dinner is built on four pillars:

• Seasonality – menus shift constantly to showcase the best of each moment.
• Accessibility – nine courses offered at an approachable price point.
• Collaboration – partnerships with local farmers’ markets, fishermen, and small businesses expand the experience beyond the plate.
• Community – every event is guided by our mantra: for the community, by the community.

The Brown Butter Boys exists not just to serve food, but to create spaces where people from all walks of life gather around the table — to come as guests, and leave as neighbors.
