At around 6 PM, visitors like Misty Copeland (a longtime patron of Mai), star Bailey Bass, and Trend’s very own Leah Faye-Cooper as well as Jose Criales-Unzueta got in the gorgeously designated dining room, whose glossy curtains had actually been pulled showed closed for incorporated drama.
The majority of everyone had been attentively clothed by Mai, so suffice it to claim, the area was actually filled with plush, lady satin, and a few bomber coats (a Bach Mai trademark). After a 1-hour tropical drink, during the course of which Mar’s delivered wanton deep-fried chick legs in crystal bowls, everyone took their chair for a three-course supper. Yet initially, invited comments from OpenTable’s CEO Debby Soo.
