About the event
Counter-seating cocktail format
Au Comptoir is a counter-seating, multi-course cocktail tasting experience hosted at Maximilien Restaurant in Seattle. This edition is Tiki-inspired, with the event description inviting guests to “escape to the tropics” through a special edition of the format.
The program is built around six cocktail tasting courses. Spencer Burns, Maximilien’s bartender and mixologist, presents the courses and explains the inspirations and flavor selections behind them, making the drinks and their development the central subject of the event.
Food and admission notes
The cocktail tasting includes complimentary aperitif snacks. During booking, guests may also choose optional add-ons, including cheese, charcuterie, or caviar, so the food component is separate from the six-course cocktail structure rather than described as a full meal.
Admission is limited to guests aged 21 and older. That age requirement is a planning detail for this event specifically, alongside the cocktail-focused format and the booking-stage add-on options.
