Storyline:
Foodie Tyler Ledford and his date, Margot Mills, travel by boat to Hawthorn, an exclusive restaurant owned and operated by celebrity chef Julian Slowik, located on a private island. The other guests attending the dinner are Lillian Bloom, a food critic; her editor Ted; wealthy regulars Richard and Anne Leibrandt; washed-up movie star George Diaz and his personal assistant Felicity; business partners Soren, Dave, and Bryce; and Slowik’s alcoholic mother Linda. The group is given a tour of the island by the restaurant maître d’hôtel, Elsa, who notes that Margot was not Tyler’s designated guest for the evening.
Dinner begins, and Chef Slowik introduces a series of courses, delivering increasingly unsettling monologues about each dish. For the third course, uncomfortable truths about each guest ranging from affairs to embezzlement are exposed via laser-printed images on tortillas. During the fourth course, Jeremy, a sous-chef, kills himself, causing a panic amongst the guests, except for Tyler. When Richard tries to leave, the staff cut off his ring finger. Hawthorn’s angel investor Doug Verrick, to whom Slowik had to relinquish ownership of the restaurant to stay afloat during the COVID-19 pandemic, is then drowned. For the fifth course, which begins with Slowik allowing himself to be stabbed by Katherine, a female employee whom he sexually harassed, the female guests dine with Katherine while the male guests are given the chance to escape the island, but Slowik’s staff catch all of them.
Slowik explains each guest was invited because they either contributed to him losing his passion for his craft or because they make a living off exploiting the work of artisans and workers like him and his team. He announces that everyone present will be dead by the end of the night. Since Margot’s presence was unplanned, Slowik privately gives her the choice of dying either with the staff or the guests, and she chooses the former.
Margot is unmasked as an escort who has previously served Richard and whose real name is Erin. Slowik reveals that Tyler was invited to the dinner months in advance and informed the guests would be killed. Despite this, Tyler was so zealous in his desire to participate in Slowik’s craft that he kept the secret and hired Margot to replace his ex-girlfriend for the evening because Hawthorn did not offer seating for parties of one. Slowik humiliates Tyler by forcing him to cook in front of everyone and insulting his food, then orders Tyler to hang himself.
Slowik asks Margot to go to the smokehouse and collect a barrel needed for dessert; as she leaves the kitchen, she sees Tyler’s body. En route, Margot sneaks into Slowik’s house, only to be attacked by a jealous Elsa. After a scuffle, Margot accidentally kills Elsa. After seeing a framed employee of the month award showing Slowik as a young and happy cook at a greasy spoon diner, Margot finds a radio, calls for help and returns to the restaurant with the barrel. A Coast Guard officer named Dale arrives from his boat, but after the guests are convinced they have been saved, he reveals himself to be a line cook in disguise and returns to the kitchen.
As dessert is being prepared, Margot mocks Slowik’s dishes and “loveless” cooking, and complains that she is still hungry. When Slowik asks what she would like to eat, Margot requests a cheeseburger and fries. Moved by her humble request, Slowik does so, finding joy in creating the dish, and after one bite, she requests to take it “to go“. Slowik and the staff allow her to leave. Margot takes the Coast Guard boat docked nearby and escapes the island.
The dessert is an elevated s’mores dish—the staff cover the floor with crushed graham crackers and adorn the guests with stoles made of marshmallows and hats made of chocolate. Slowik then sets the restaurant ablaze, detonating the barrel and killing the guests, staff, and himself. Safely away from the island, Margot eats her cheeseburger in silence while watching the restaurant burn, using a copy of the menu to wipe her mouth.
