About this Experience
What you'll do:
Your private chef arrives at your Home with everything needed for a restaurant-quality dinner, so you can relax, get ready, or start the celebration while the kitchen comes to life.
Chef Arrival and Setup - Your chef brings fresh, locally sourced ingredients and specialty tools, and takes over the kitchen so you can pour drinks, take photos, or just unwind.
Appetizers and Cocktail Hour - Gather around a seasonal starter, artisanal small bites, or a grazing spread built for easy snacking while the group settles in.
Multi-Course Dinner Service - Sit down to a personalized, multi-course meal served plated or family-style, built around peak-season ingredients and your group's tastes.
Custom Dessert Finale - Close out the night with a plated dessert designed around the occasion, the kind of finishing touch that photographs as well as it tastes.
Full Kitchen Cleanup - Your chef handles the dishes, wipes down every surface, and packs away leftovers, so the kitchen is spotless before the group heads out for the night.
The night moves from prep to plates to cleanup without anyone in your group lifting a finger in the kitchen.
Why we love it for your group:
Turnkey From Start to Finish - No grocery runs, no cooking, no dishes. Your chef handles every part of the meal, so your group can stay focused on each other.
No Reservations, No Wait - Skip the taxi coordination and split checks. Your group gets a private dining setup right where you're staying.
Restaurant-Caliber Cooking at Home - Farm-to-table dishes built around your group's preferences and dietary needs, from a chef trained under Michelin-starred kitchens.
Camera-Ready Plating - Every course is plated with presentation in mind, made for the kind of photos your group will actually want to post.
BYOB - Bring your own wine, champagne, or cocktails. No corkage fees, no markups.
