Is it worth it if I don't drink?
Absolutely! I create custom non-alcoholic options for my teetotaling friends. They will be thoughtfully chosen to compliment the menu just like the alcoholic options—not soda and flavored syrup. Please let me know when you book if your drinking status has changed since your last visit.
-
What if I have a food allergy?
Please notify me of any allergies. While I can modify dishes to accommodate most dietary restrictions, my kitchen handles common allergens and cannot guarantee against cross-contamination.
-
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?
I want everyone to enjoy a thoughtful, well-crafted meal. Each menu offers different opportunities for adaptation, so please reach out before booking to discuss your needs. While my kitchen isn't certified kosher or halal, I'm happy to explore options that will work for you.
-
Why is it invitation only?
I put a lot of love into cooking and only want to do it for people I like. So I invite my friends, and they are welcome to invite their friends, and then you're a friend that will get invited next time!
-
Who will I be eating with?
Each dinner seats 8 guests—friends and friends-of-friends. Part of the fun is discovering our connections over great food! We dine at one shared table, encouraging conversation and connection. Seating naturally flows as guests arrive.
-
How will the evening flow?
We begin promptly at 6:30 with welcome drinks. Courses are served at a relaxed pace with time to savor both the food and conversation. While we aim to serve dessert by 9:30, the evening unfolds naturally—you're welcome to linger or leave as needed.
-
Will I learn about the food and drinks?
Absolutely! I love sharing the inspiration behind each dish, discussing cooking techniques, and exploring why certain drinks complement our food. These conversations naturally unfold throughout the evening, adding layers of discovery to your dining experience.
-
Can the menu change?
The menu is outlined on the event page. There are times where the ingredients aren't available or aren't up to my standard and I may have to adapt a portion of the menu at the last minute.
-
What should I wear?
Unless noted otherwise on the event page, casual and comfortable is perfect. Just skip anything you'd wear to bed, the beach, or the gym. Shoot for looking like you remembered you were leaving the house today 😄.
-
Where should I park?
There are some parking restrictions on the street, so read the signs carefully. You are also welcome to park in the driveway. Just pull all the way up so people can park behind you.
-
Can I bring a gift and should I tip?
Your ticket is all-inclusive. While absolutely not expected, wine is always appreciated if you'd like to bring something!
-
What if I'm running late?
Please arrive at 6:30 as the evening begins promptly. If you're running late, text me so I can adjust timing for your arrival without compromising the experience for other guests.
-
What if I can't make it?
I understand plans change. Full refunds (minus service fees) are available up to 8 days before the event. For a Saturday dinner, you can cancel through the previous Friday for a refund. This helps us reduce food waste and offer your seat to others.
