Mission Statement
To apply both traditional and modern techniques in a way that creates a unique and personalized experience.
Private/Event Chef
Instead of giving you a list of items or packages, what we like to do here is talk to you then customize a menu completely based on your preferences and budget. It really allows us to make your event as special as possible.
Although we do not provide alcoholic services, we do work closely with a couple bar teams we can connect you with that will provide you wonderful service.
Restaurant Consulting
We have professionals that specialize in a variety of areas from budgeting, menu creation, productivity, bartending, and serving.
Contact us to discuss your particular needs so we can make sure to have the best staffing for your business.
