About this Experience

What you'll do:

You sit down to a restaurant-caliber dinner that was designed around exactly what you and your group love to eat, served in the comfort of your home or Chef Ari's private dining space in Cabo San Lucas.

  • Share your preferences - Before your dinner, you connect with Chef Ari directly to build a custom menu around your tastes, dietary needs, and the style of meal you are looking for.

  • Welcome Chef Ari into your space - She arrives with everything she needs, sets up quietly, and takes full ownership of the kitchen so you never have to think about it.

  • Sit down to a plated, multi-course dinner - Each course is thoughtfully timed and presented, pulling from global techniques including Thai, French, Mexican, and Japanese.

  • Eat dishes built around your group - Every allergy, restriction, and preference has already been accounted for, so everyone at the table has something great in front of them.

  • Enjoy the whole evening without lifting a finger - Chef Ari handles the cooking, the pacing, and the cleanup so you stay present with your guests from start to finish.

This is a private chef dinner experience for people who want the quality of a great restaurant without leaving where they are staying. Whether you are celebrating something or just want a really good meal together, the format works for groups of all sizes and occasions.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Menus built from scratch - Nothing is pre-set. Chef Ari designs your menu specifically for your group, which means every dish actually fits the people at the table.

  • Global culinary range - From Thai curries to sushi to Baja-inspired Mexican, the menu options span far beyond what a single-cuisine chef can offer.

  • Michelin-trained technique - Chef Ari trained in a Michelin-starred kitchen in France and cooked at Bar Tartine in San Francisco, so the execution behind every dish is serious.

  • Zero hosting stress - You are not managing a meal. Chef Ari owns the kitchen completely, which means you can be a guest at your own table.

  • Flexible venue - Whether you are in a vacation rental, a private villa, or Chef Ari's own dining space, the experience travels to where you are.
