For those seeking an enhanced experience, select infused options featuring THC or CBD are available, ensuring guests can enjoy their high alongside a delicious, elevated meal.

Currently, Chef D’s creations can be found at Dome Nightclub every Friday and Saturday, with delivery services available Sunday through Thursday from 8 PM to 4 AM (orders can be placed via Instagram DM to @chefds_kitchen).

Andrea Casey is the proud owner of two small businesses. A Movement Arts (Pilates, acrobatics, dance, fitness) Studio & Photography Studio. She has dedicated her life’s work to creating a safe, warm and loving environment for people to explore movement that they can become passionate about, expand their bodies capabilities, and ultimately come back to celebrating the skin that they’re in.

Andrea believes in focusing on how movement makes us FEEL, rather than focusing on the superficial outcomes. Creating deep and meaningful relationships with her clients, while guiding them to a healthier relationship with their mind and body is top priority.
