What’s Included
Q: Can we request specific dietary accommodations or favorite dishes?
A: Absolutely! Chef Virginia collaborates with you beforehand to tailor a menu that aligns with your tastes and dietary needs.
Q: How many guests can be accommodated?
A: Services range from intimate dinners for 2 up to around 16 guests for personal chef services.
Q: How long does the experience last?
A: Dinner typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours. The chef arrives earlier to prep and stays afterward to clean—so plan for a 3-hour total window.

A: Yes—menus can be fully customized to accommodate dietary preferences and restrictions.
Q: Is gratuity included in the service?
A: No, gratuity is not included in the experience price and is greatly appreciated by the chef team.

A: Yes, your kitchen will be left spotless—so you can relax and enjoy the evening fully.
To ensure fairness to both guests and our chef team, cancellations made more than 7 days in advance will receive a full refund. Cancellations within 7 days are non-refundable, as your chef has already sourced ingredients and reserved the time for your experience.
