Presently, we are only accepting outdoor dinner parties for up 10 people *including servers & kitchen staff, where all guests are from the same household and will be seated at socially distanced tables by social “bubble”, or the # of people permitted for outdoor gatherings in the county in which the event will take place. Tables of 2-4 are highly encouraged and we can help you secure small tables and tablecloths via our rental partners at Bright Event Rentals. So, for example, for 8 guests you might have 2-4 small tables.
One of our drop-off “No-Prep Dinner-Parties-in-a-Bag” is the safest option. Serve your family the same gourmet meals I serve when I cook in your home! Each course is vacuum-sealed, then sous vide by being brought to food-safe temperature over time; just reheat and serve. I have developed several menus that lend themselves well to this process without comprising flavor or quality and the vacuum-sealed bags assure maximum hygiene.
For indoor dinners, we will correspond with you to best understand the logistics for your event, for example, whether you have an open floor plan or there is a barrier between the kitchen and dining area. Based on this information, we will create your In-Home Private Dining Plan.
No guests, nor the host, are permitted in the kitchen during the event and for 3 hours prior to our arrival. We request that you kindly open all windows in the kitchen and the area 3 hours prior to our arrival.
All dinners will be served plated, restaurant-style: No buffets, food stations or family-style service. We will only offering Cheeseboards or other shared platters if your guests are all in the same “social bubble”.
In an effort to minimize contact between servers and guests: The first course will be pre-set, before guests are seated and water and wine will be pre-poured. The final course will be cleared after guests get up from the table if possible. Menus will be limited to 5 courses maximum.
We will not offer water pitchers on the tables, and all wine will be poured by one of our servers.
We highly recommend you use rental tableware (flatware/glassware/dishware and linens) as these are pre-sterilized and then immediately packed and sealed. We can arrange everything for you!
All servers will wear disposable gloves, which will be changed after each course is cleared.
All servers and kitchen staff will wear masks.
All staff will be pre-screened for symptoms the day before and the morning of each event.
All kitchen surfaces will be sanitized before and after service (we request that you provide disinfectant please).
In the event that, upon our arrival, we ascertain that logistics are NOT as described in your In-Home Private Dining Plan and we feel the environment is not COVID-safe, we reserve the right to leave, in which case we will leave you with all the ingredients and no refunds will be issued.
