A Menu Built Around Your Evening

Every Private Chef for a Night menu is created with the client. The selections below are examples of dishes we can use to begin the conversation—not a fixed package or a promise that every item will be available on every date.

Every experience is quoted individually based on the ingredients, number of courses, guest count, market availability and menu complexity. Chef labor, optional service staff, specialty equipment and mileage are quoted separately.

Client guidelines

How the Experience Works

To keep the evening authentic and efficient, we ordinarily use your kitchen’s cookware, plates, glassware and utensils. If the selected menu requires specialty equipment, we will bring it. Dinnerware rentals may also be arranged when needed.

You are billed only for the portions served. If leftovers remain, please have appropriate storage containers available, as we do not provide them. Specialty items requiring extended preparation—such as smoked meats or desserts—may be prepared by hand and from scratch before our team arrives.

Gratuities are never expected. They are always appreciated when our team’s service helps make the evening especially memorable.
