This August, Bellevue becomes the stage for a dining experience unlike any other. Welcome to The Radiant Table—an immersive culinary journey where projection-mapped storytelling and chef-crafted dishes merge to create pure magic. Set within The Bellevue Collection’s Dining District, this event reimagines dinner as a fully sensorial artform.

Each evening features a new acclaimed chef curating a four-course menu inspired by the flavors of the Pacific Northwest. As guests savor each dish, immersive digital projections transform the dining room—think waves crashing across the table while you enjoy oysters, or forests blooming before your eyes as you bite into wild mushrooms. The visuals aren’t just a backdrop—they are integral to the narrative of the food.

The Creators: SE Productions

Behind this innovative experience is SE Productions, the award-winning team responsible for Taste Washington, Field to Table, and Sumo + Sushi. Known for crafting events that center food, storytelling, and connection, SE launched Radiant Table in San Francisco to rave reviews. Now, they bring it home to Washington, tapping into Bellevue’s thriving food scene.

“Our desire is for the food on the plate to be just as impressive as the visuals,” says SE Productions President Sam Minkoff. “That’s why we’ve selected some of the best chef partners in the region.”

The Experience: An Intimate Night to Remember

The evening begins in the lounge, where guests are welcomed with a curated cocktail, bubbles, or mocktail. A warm, social atmosphere encourages mingling and photo ops before dinner begins. Once seated at elegant, shared tables for up to eight guests, diners are enveloped in projection mapping that shifts with each course.

Personalized place settings glow with your name, adding a VIP touch. With each course, the environment transforms—rippling water for seafood, lush greens for foraged fare—while the chef steps out to share the inspiration behind the dish, deepening the connection between guest and plate.

Guests from San Francisco raved:

“It was like living in the chef’s imagination. I felt completely transported.” “The group element was so fun and upscale. It took us out of the ordinary.” “The visuals and food together—absolutely stunning!”
