The Problem
For the nights you don't want a crowded restaurant.
You shouldn't have to cook and clean on your own birthday. And your anniversary deserves better than waiting for a table.
Imagine this instead: You open the door. Your home smells incredible. Friends have a cocktail. Your private chef is plating your first course. You sit down and actually enjoy the party you hosted.
That's what we do.
How It Works
1
A Custom Menu Created for Your Occasion
15-minute call. You tell me the occasion, guest count, dietary needs, and foods you love or hate. I design a custom menu around it.
2
We shop, cook serve and clean
I source the ingredients, arrive with everything, set up, and cook live in your kitchen. Optional wine pairings advice included.
3
Intimate dining for 2-20 guests
We serve, pour, and handle every detail. After dessert, we clean everything and leave your kitchen cleaner than we found it.
Private Dining experiences for two start at $400

Chef David made us a fabulous meal! The portion sizes were great for the price. Everything was prepped and cleaned up without me having to do anything other than entertain my guests. Highly recommend chef David to everyone and can’t wait for our next event where we can use him again.
