Our private events start at $125.00 per person for a 2.5 hour event. There is an 18% gratuity applied for your chef hosts, 10% event planning & coordination fee and a 2% credit convenience fee for all card transactions.

How far in advance do I need to reserve a date?
We prefer to have a reservation 2 or more weeks prior to the date of your event to ensure staffing needs.
Is there a deposit required to book an event?
Yes, all of our private events are booked with a $500 deposit that is applied to your event. The remaining balance will be due at the end of your event.
Do you make accommodations for food allergies/dietary restrictions?
We will do our best to accommodate for dietary restrictions and allergies but cannot guarantee a completely safe environment or that the entire menu can be adjusted to meet dietary needs. Please read our full policy regarding food allergies here. Our cooking challenges are a great way to accommodate restrictions as teams will be choosing their own recipes and can avoid ingredients/find substitutes. Custom menu options can be provided for our chef-led dinner parties for an additional per person cost. Please call to discuss a custom quote for your event.

Stemware is provided.
