Join us at Marelle Santa Monica for The Guest List, a one-night-only culinary collaboration celebrating friendship, fire, and Santa Monica summer. This special event brings together Marelle’s own Chef Raphael Lunetta and acclaimed two-star Michelin Chef Josiah Citrin for a live-grilled dinner inspired by their longtime annual summer BBQ tradition.

The evening honors more than 45 years of friendship between Citrin and Lunetta — What began as a backyard-style summer celebration in Venice has been reimagined at Marelle for one unforgettable evening of coastal flavors, shared memories, and open-fire cooking.

Experience a nostalgic summer BBQ reimagined through a refined coastal California lens, with both chefs live grilling throughout the evening in an intimate ocean-view setting.

Guests will enjoy:

  • A welcome pour of Los Dos Cava
  • Seasonal starters including Sliced Ahi Tuna and Whipped Feta
  • Family-style summer sides highlighting peak California produce
  • Live-grilled Jumbo Prawns and Dry-Aged Prime Brandt Beef Ribeye
  • Brown Butter Peach Crisp for dessert
  • Curated Spanish wine pairings throughout the evening

Reservations are available exclusively through OpenTable, and seating is limited.
