The Preparation
Our experience is most easily divided into three aspects. The experience begins. It’s crafting from the first conversation with our client. We delve into the unique details that each client would like to see in their custom experience, such as food, preferences, aversions, or allergies, as well as service style, or any special events that should reflect the dinner. After finding out our clients, precise desire, we then begin sourcing all of our products through our local vendors. All of our service equipment is also sourced for the specific job.

The Experience
The second aspect of our experience is when we arrive and begin the preparation of the meal. We gain access to the kitchen via our clients and begin preparation of food as well as setting the table for perfection. When our client desires to begin their experience, everything is set and we begin the celebration.
The third aspect of the experience, critical to perfection. After our client is thoroughly satisfied, we make sure that our cleaning of the kitchen is exceptional and pristine. Thus ending the experience.
