The Adnoraf, a members-only supper and social club, debuts in Hyde Park next month

Hyde Park’s newest concept might be one of the most exclusive dining experiences in all of Tampa Bay. The Adnoraf, a members-only supper and social club, officially opens early next month at 119 S Dakota Ave. in South Tampa.

Grander than your typical white tablecloths and upscale spots, The Adnoraf is all about offering an exclusive experience for its members—and it comes at a high price, of course.

The upcoming supper and social club offers three different membership tiers—the most expensive one costs $5,000 upfront and an additional $175 in monthly dues. The platinum tier grants members first pick at its exclusive chef’s dinners, wellness activities and personalized services—like a dedicated concierge or personalized meal planning.

Access to The Adnoraf’s second tier cost $2,500 upfront and $145 per month, while the cheapest membership—which is reserved for people ages 21-27—has a $750 initiation payment and monthly fee of $75.

“Our membership is a diverse group of athletes, founders, socialites, professionals, musicians, and other esteemed guests,” Adnoraf’s owners Steven Davis and Faronda Davis tell Creative Loafing Tampa Bay in an email. “The club’s membership process is selective and aimed at ensuring that members share common interests and values and will contribute to the overall community.”

In total, The Adnoraf will allow 150 members— but only 25 platinum memberships. Folks can apply for a membership on the club’s website ahead of its official debut next month.

All members of The Adnoraf will have access to its monthly dinners,  which will be hosted by a rotating selection of chefs that specialize in different techniques—from  omakase sushi to avante-garde presentations and fusion cuisines. 
At the inaugural, invite-only dinner The Adnoraf hosted a few weeks ago, Chef Brett Wright utilized  lofty ingredients like wagyu, caviar and salted fish with scotch bonnet peppers in his eight-course meal. 
St. Pete natives Steven Davis and Faronda Davis are the minds behind The Adnoraf. The dynamic duo are most known for their DIY dessert business The Cake Drip—which is located in Hyde Park Village—and the children’s cooking academy ABC Chefs,  but their latest endeavor is perhaps their grandest to date.

The Davises tell CL that “The Adnoraf allows us to combine our two decades of experience and our love of fine dining; our desire is to bring people together and create a fun and relaxed upscale atmosphere,” adding that their years of traveling and eating around the world have inspired their newest concept.

In addition to unique dining experiences and events that The Adnoraf will host throughout the month, the South Tampa club will also offer its members different wellness rooms that specialize in reiki, yoga, meditation and IV therapy.

While its wellness rooms will be open to members throughout the week, dinners will typically happen on weekend nights.
