Dinner Parties

We plan, cook, serve and clean up.

Let us plan your dinner party while you sit back and enjoy your dinner with friends.  Decide how you would like your meals presented.   We offer three course meals served family style, plated 3-5 course upscale dinners, or be adventurous with an elegant 5 or 7 course Chef’s Tasting menu.  All meals are customized to your flavor and preferences. We come to your home with all the equipment needed to prepare and cook your meal and when we leave your kitchen area will be as clean as we found it.
