Frequently Asked Questions

My packages are all-inclusive per person -- food and labour combined into one rate, no separate bill at the end. The Classic Dinner starts at $159/pp, The Signature Dinner (most popular) is $199/pp, and The Chef's Table is $259/pp. There's a minimum booking of $800, which works out to roughly 4-5 guests at the entry tier. All prices are before HST.

The group pre-selects one dish per course before the evening. Everyone eats the same menu, which is how I'm able to cook everything fresh and serve it properly. For dietary needs or allergies, I can offer up to two protein options per course. It's an in-home dining experience, not a restaurant -- and that's exactly what makes it special.

Yes, with the understanding that the minimum booking is $800. For smaller gatherings -- two to four guests -- that minimum applies regardless of guest count. Many couples hire a personal chef for anniversaries or special occasions and find it well worth it. If you're unsure whether it makes sense for your situation, reach out and I'll figure it out.

Yes, and this is something I take seriously. When you reach out to book, let me know who in your group has restrictions or allergies. When we finalize the menu -- usually seven days before the event -- we'll confirm the specific accommodations. For guests with different needs, I can prepare up to two protein options per course. I regularly accommodate vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and dairy-free guests, as well as common allergens. If anyone in your group has a severe allergy, please tell me early so we can talk it through before the event.
