A Menu Built Around Your Group, Not a Fixed List
Amber does not hand over a set menu and call it done. She works with each group to build something around their theme, whether that means Southern, Italian, Mediterranean, or Asian inspired, and she adjusts for allergies without treating them as an afterthought. Reviewers have described full spreads built around one guest's Southern theme request, a bachelorette dinner built entirely around a group with multiple food allergies, and a Mediterranean menu created for a milestone trip. She has also cooked in rental kitchens that were short on basic supplies and still turned out full four course meals, which says something about how she handles the parts of the job that are outside her control.
Restaurant Style Service Without the Reservation
Amber and Ryan arrive early, set the table, cook, plate, and serve the meal, then clean up before they leave. Guests have described the kitchen as spotless afterward and the service itself as close to what you would expect at a restaurant, right down to refilling water and wine throughout the meal. That distinction matters. This is not food dropped off in containers. It is a full private dining experience run by two people who have done this professionally for years, in a space the group already has to themselves.
Groups of 7 to 16 Are Where She Does Her Best Work
Amber's reviews consistently mention groups in the 7 to 16 range, which lines up with what bachelorette parties, birthdays, and girls trips actually look like. Big appetites and mixed dietary needs are the norm for that size group, and she handles both without slowing down service. She has cooked four course meals for parties of 13, 14, and 15 in rental homes, adjusted full menus around food allergies across an entire table, and kept the pace steady even when the kitchen setup worked against her. The bigger benefit is what the group gets to skip. No one has to leave to make a reservation, and no one gets stuck cooking or cleaning while everyone else enjoys the night.
Two Ways to Book the Same Night
For groups that want to be more hands on, Amber also runs a private cooking class where guests help prepare the four course meal alongside her before sitting down to eat it, built for up to 16 people. And for groups looking to close out the night on a different note, she offers a private tarot and chakra reading party, drawing on the same over two decades of experience she brings to her food. It is an unusual pairing, but it means one booking can cover both dinner and dessert conversation.
