i am a private chef, offering private fine dining experiences



Private fine dining is an exclusive, elevated culinary experience that combines top-tier gourmet cuisine in a secluded atmosphere, usually in a private home, or vacation rental. It offers curated, customized, multi-course menus served by dedicated staff. This type of dining focuses on quality and exclusivity, often creating a more memorable experience than a traditional restaurant setting.


KEY FEATURES OF PRIVATE FINE DINING:

Seclusion and atmosphere. Personalized service. Tailored menus. Luxury meals at home or private room at a winery or restaurant.


DINNER:

I specialize in multi-course private dinners. Groups of 6-16 guests are the ideal size because I am able to provide attention to each plate before it leaves the kitchen. A dinner can be composed of three, four, five (or more) plated courses, including dessert. I truly believe the final course should always be dessert.


I occasionally do "family style" dinners. Please reach out by phone or email to discuss your needs. I will assess and inform you as soon as possible whether I am able to fulfill your request.


WINE:

Wine pairings are optional. You can choose a wine pairing for an additional cost. Alternatively, you can provide your own wine, if you prefer. I am happy to work with you on wine selection once a menu is designed.


PRICE RANGE:

$175-$275 per person, depending on number of courses. Additionally, there is a 20% service charge + service staff for large groups. If party is up to 16 guests, I can provide tableware for a fee. Otherwise, rentals from a local company can be an option.


DEPOSIT:

a $500 deposit is required to hold the date and design a menu. One menu revision is allowed after the first draft is submitted. The $500 deposit is applied to the total.


TERMS:

A minimum of six guests is required to book a private dinner. Guests must be 21 and older. Client agrees to a prix-fixe menu for all guests in the party. Extreme food allergies can be taken into consideration, however, due to the complexity of my menus substitutions are politely declined.


Unfortunately, an all vegan, or an all vegetarian menu cannot be accommodated at this time.
