Guests can expect alpine-inspired comfort food, a cozy communal atmosphere, and an après-ski playlist that sets the tone for a relaxed, wintry evening. The experience evokes the feeling of coming in from the cold — gathering after a day on the slopes and stepping into candlelight, warmth, and shared tables. Perfect for those who love good food, good company, and lingering moments.

Relive the Flavor: Memorable Evenings
Komodo Kitchen ~ November 7-8, 2025
“The First Lady of Exotic,” Chef Gina Onyx is the creative force behind Komodo Kitchen—where art, spice, and storytelling intertwine in every dish. Her acclaimed Detroit pop-ups—often whispered about as
“the hottest table in town”—captivate guests through every sense:
sight, scent, sound, and soul. Chef Gina brought that mystical island magic to The Pavilion Street Market Ferndale for two unforgettable nights of culinary and cultural exploration.
The exclusive five-course dinner featured her signature Nasi Rendang—the celebrated Sumatran coconut-braised dish that captured the world’s attention when a CNN International poll named Beef Rendang the #1 Most Delicious Food in the World, and Chef Gordon Ramsay hailed it as “a masterpiece of slow-cooked perfection.”
From the fragrance of ylang-ylang, jasmine, pandan, and lemongrass to the vibrant greens of Gado Gado and the deep, earthy spices of Rendang—each course is a love letter to Indonesia’s 15,000-island archipelago, served Komodo-style: warm, intimate, and rich with story.
