Common Questions

Custom private experiences start at $5,000. Final pricing depends on guest count, menu complexity, venue selection, and beverage program. After an initial conversation, we'll provide a detailed proposal tailored to your event.

We recommend reaching out at least 3-4 weeks before your event to ensure availability of your preferred chef and venue. For peak seasons (holiday parties, year-end celebrations), 6-8 weeks is ideal. That said, we've pulled off incredible events with shorter timelines when needed.

Our private dining experiences are designed for groups of 8 to 50 guests. The format works best for intimate, seated dinners where every guest has a meaningful experience. For larger groups, we offer cocktail reception formats that can scale further.

Absolutely. Our chefs regularly accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, kosher, halal, and allergy-specific requirements. Every menu is custom-designed, so dietary needs are built into the experience from the start rather than treated as an afterthought.

We host events across Manhattan in exclusive private venues including luxury penthouses, members-only clubs, private lounges, and curated loft spaces. Each venue is selected based on your group size, event tone, and desired ambiance. We can also work with a venue you already have in mind.

We understand plans change. We'll walk through our flexible rescheduling and cancellation policy during your planning call. Our goal is to make the process as stress-free as the event itself.
