What’s the difference between the course options and the tasting menu?

The 1–5 course experiences are structured meals with larger portions per course and fewer total dishes. The tasting menu is a chef-curated experience with 7–9 small, refined plates meant to showcase a progression of flavors, textures, and techniques, perfect for food lovers and special occasions.

Can I customize the menu?

Absolutely. Each menu is tailored to your preferences, dietary restrictions, and seasonal ingredients. You’ll work with Chef Julienne in advance to finalize your menu.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Yes! We regularly prepare vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and allergy-conscious menus. Just let us know in advance so we can plan accordingly.

Do you bring all the equipment and tableware?

Yes! Chef Julienne can bring everything needed to prepare and plate the meal. Plates, flatware, and napkins are available upon request if your Airbnb or event space doesn’t have them for an additional fee.

Where is the food prepared?

Meals are prepared fresh in our catering kitchen to ensure the best possible flavor and cleanliness. Chef Julienne arrives 30 Minutes prior to the scheduled meal time to set up and plate your experience.

How many people can this experience serve?

We accommodate anywhere from 4 to 45+ guests. Intimate dinners, group celebrations, and micro-events are all welcome. Tasting menus are best suited for groups of 6 or more.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking at least 3 weeks in advance to ensure availability and allow time for menu planning. Last-minute bookings may be possible based on schedule. Reach out to us for confirmation!

How long does the experience take?

It depends on the number of courses, but most meals last between 90 minutes to 2.5 hours from first plate to dessert. Tasting menus may take up to 3 hours to allow a relaxed pace between courses.

Do you offer wine pairings or drinks?

We don’t supply alcohol, but we’re happy to provide pairing suggestions or collaborate with a sommelier or bartender if you’d like to enhance your experience. Glassware and setup can be arranged with an additional fee.

What types of events is this good for?

Perfect for romantic dinners, birthdays, anniversaries, bachelorette parties, family gatherings, corporate dinners, or just treating yourself to a chef-quality night in.

Do you offer waiter service?

Yes, we would be happy to guide you on this culinary journey! Waitering and continued Chef service can be arranged for an additional fee.

We were staying at an Airbnb for our first trip to the NJ Shore and didn’t want to cook or go out every night. These meals made our trip feel SO elevated. The portions were generous, everything was labeled, and the flavors were just unreal. It felt like dining at a boutique hotel but we got to stay in our pajamas!!

We hosted friends for dinner but didn’t want to cook. Chef Julienne’s prepared meal service was the perfect solution. He dropped off a gorgeous three-course meal, all ready to plate, and gave us simple instructions to make it feel like an elevated restaurant-level. Everyone thought we hired a chef and hid him in the pantry or something (we kinda did!)!

This was our first time hiring a private chef and now we’re obsessed! Chef Julienne created a custom menu just for us, brought everything he needed, and served each course like we were in a Michelin-starred restaurant. We felt so spoiled!! It was honestly perfect <3

Chef Julienne cooked an amazing brunch for my best friend’s surprise birthday dinner and it was such a vibe! The food was seasonal and gorgeous, he even brought floral touches for the table. It felt super luxe but still warm and relaxed. We didn’t want it to end, honestly we should have hired him for more courses so it could go on longer!!

I have a ton of dietary restrictions and usually dread set menus.. but Chef Julienne built a whole custom experience around what I could eat, not what I couldn’t. I felt seen, cared for, and honestly full for the first time at an event in ages. And the food was just incredible!

We splurged on the plated service where Chef Julienne stayed and plated the food for us, and wow!!! Totally worth it!!!!!! The pacing, the presentation, the little touches... it was like being at a fine dining restaurant, but right in our AirBNB. We didn’t have to lift a finger!

Hosting 8 people at our Airbnb for the weekend was nerve-wracking and stressful until we hired Chef Julienne. He really handled it all!! The food was incredible and we got to actually enjoy our weekend away with our friends instead of stressing about it. Thankfully, even our very picky friends were even seriously impressed and that never happens that they *all* agree on something!
