    Planning notes

    Before you book.

    Tap a question. Anything else, text Chef David at (831) 537-3500.

    Question 01

    How many guests can you host?

    Private events start at 4 guests, and the center holds up to 49. Larger gatherings or off-site events? Ask about catering.

    Question 02

    How far ahead should I book?

    As early as you can, especially for weekends and the holidays. Any open day on the schedule can be yours.

    Question 03

    Can the menu work around allergies or diets?

    Yes. Vegetarian, gluten-free, picky kids: tell Chef David up front and he'll build the menu around it. Our kitchen also handles nuts, dairy, eggs, gluten, fish and shellfish, so we can't promise a completely allergen-free kitchen.

    Question 04

    How does pricing work?

    It depends on your menu, guest count and where the event happens. Send your menu with the builder above and Chef David will follow up with a quote. Private cooking classes from the regional menus are $60 per person.

    Question 05

    Do you cook at people's homes?

    Yes. Chef David brings custom-prepared dinners and receptions to clients' homes. Tell him where you are when you reach out.

    Still wondering? Text Chef David or see all the FAQs.
