Dr. Frankenstein
and his Terrifying
Monsters
Tickets are sold in pairs. $149 includes a three-course meal and table for 2.
One year after a horrifying incident left this once quaint town terrified of anything that moves in the dark, the townspeople gather once again to discuss the strange sights and sounds coming from Dr. Frankenstein’s laboratory. At the centre of it all is Odette, a beautiful mourning widow still devastated by the mysterious death of her beloved husband, Jasper. But when whispers begin to spread about a creature wandering through the night, and rumours of strange experiments coming from the doctor’s laboratory, the people of Geneva begin to wonder if something much darker is hiding just beyond their doorstep. With fear spreading through the town, everyone has a theory about what is lurking in the shadows, but no one seems to have the whole story.
As the evening unfolds, you’ll meet a tattooed bartender with a taste for danger, a doctor haunted by his own creations, a strange creature who seems to have a mysterious connection to the past, and a peculiar little spy whose loyalty can always be bought. Secrets will surface, old wounds will reopen, and the line between monster and man will begin to blur. In a town where everyone has something to hide, who can truly be trusted? Is the greatest threat hiding in the laboratory, walking through the streets, or sitting right beside you at the dinner table? Join us for a night of mystery, gothic horror, dark comedy, and plenty of surprises. As the night unfolds, we will see who the real monster is. Coming February 9th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 24th and 25th…

Odette & Jasper: A Dinner for Two (Geneva, 1816)
APPETIZER
Jasper’s Favourite, Beet Carpaccio
Alpine cheese, pickled shallot, black garlic, toasted hazelnut, and truffle vinaigrette.
“One of Jasper’s favourite dishes, prepared by Odette on quiet evenings before the parties, the laughter, and the darkness that would eventually take him away.”
Odette’s Table, Warm Baked Camembert
Fig jam, toasted hazelnut, fresh rosemary, and house-made focaccia.
“A dish Odette would place at the centre of the table, meant to be shared between two people who believed they had a lifetime left together.”
ENTRÉE
Jasper’s Sunday Supper, Swiss-Spiced Braised Lamb Shank
Potato rösti, wild mushrooms, braised red cabbage, and sour cherry–juniper jus.
“Slowly braised for Jasper on cold Geneva evenings, with Alpine herbs and spices gathered from the countryside. Beside his plate, Odette would place a small blue forget-me-not. A quiet promise that no matter what happened, he would never be forgotten.”
DESSERT FAMILY-STYLE
The Last Supper for Two, Red Wine Poached Pear
Blackcurrant, vanilla crème fraîche, almond tuile, and rosemary.
“The dessert Odette prepared on the last evening she and Jasper were together. She remembers the wine, the candlelight, and his final words, but not what happened after.”
Vegetarian Menu
