East Alder Table is a pre-booked culinary experience space. We are not a restaurant.
That means:
• All events and experiences are reserved and paid for in advance through our website
• We do not offer walk-in dining or table service
• Our cooking classes are designed for enjoyment and connection, not professional training
• Your ticket includes gratuity, so there is no tipping at the event
• Beverages are not included unless specifically listed in the event detailsIn addition to our experiences, we offer:
• Chef-prepared meals available for pre-order and weekend pickup
• A small market open Friday through Sunday from 10 to 3This structure allows us to focus on quality, preparation, and a more intentional guest experience.
If you are planning to visit, the first step is always to book through our website.
We appreciate your support as we introduce something new to the Walla Walla community.

Yes, always.
All prices for classes, events, meal kits, and market items already include gratuity. We believe in transparent pricing and taking care of our team without awkward checkout moments.
If a guest feels moved to tip on top, they are absolutely welcome to, but it is never expected.

We will do what we can to accommodate dietary restrictions and strive to be as flexible as possible. That said, depending on the menu and the nature of the event, there may be limitations to the modifications we can offer. Please reach out to hello@eastaldertable.com so we can assess whether we are able to accommodate your needs.

All event purchases are nonrefundable. If you’re unable to attend, you may transfer your ticket to another guest. While we can’t offer refunds, we’re happy to facilitate a transfer or talk through your options. Please contact us, and we’ll assist you directly.
Please note that no show reservations are also nonrefundable. Food, beverages, and event materials are purchased and prepared in advance based on guest count, so we’re unable to issue refunds for guests who do not attend.
We reserve the right to cancel or reschedule any event up to 72 hours before its scheduled start time due to low enrollment or other extenuating circumstances. If an event is cancelled, you can reschedule or receive a full refund.

Downtown Walla Walla is a designated two-hour parking zone, clearly marked by signs on traffic light poles and throughout the area.
There is ample free on-street parking, along with 10 free public parking lots located within three blocks of Main Street.
Because most of our events run longer than two hours, we recommend parking outside the two-hour zone.
A map can be found here.
