— COCKTAILS & APPETIZERS —
Sometimes it's difficult to get your guests to sit at the table. Whether you want to have a casual get together or host a business dinner, Mike offers a fun alternative for the evening.  Create your own custom appetizer menu for cocktail hour. Mike can also work along side your own personal bartender for the evening, creating custom craft cocktails to pair with your menu! (requires 10 person minimum)

$95/person + *food costs

— DINNER FOR TWO —

For years, Mike has fielded calls and emails for potential clients who want an intimate dinner for two…and given that he can only be in one home per evening, it’s been tricky to offer that. He’s now offering a special 4-course seasonal surprise menu just for couples. Of course, he will avoid any allergies or aversions. If you’d like to go ‘‘off menu’’ for *extra, you may.

Price per person for 2 guests simply can not match the other services listed here, but the attention to detail certainly will be! If you call, he will tell you that it’s a far better value to invite more guests! But…If you insist on having the option, he will offer it. He will also urge you to dine with one more couple, still intimate and a better value.

$750/couple (or) $1000/2 couples — food costs included!

*limited to strictly 1 or 2 couples only

*adding specific menu requests available for additional costs

— HYBRID MENU —

More and more, clients have asked to blend two types of service. In this hybrid format, your guests can start with a 2-3 appetizers & drinks then sit for a 3-4 course menu at the table. You build it the way you want. Want to spend most of the night mingling, no problem. Prefer to sit soon after all guests arrive, that’s fine as well. Work with Mike on customizing this to your preferences. You can balance the menu to fit your crowd or the flow you want for the evening!  (8 person minimum required)

$125/person + *food costs

— TASTING MENU —

If you're adventurous or Mike has already cooked in your home, perhaps you're ready to let him call the shots for a menu with an array of flavors, textures and surprises! You and your guests may have a menu that features items like local oysters, wild foraged mushrooms, wagyu beef, scallops, duck, truffle, lobster, lamb, eggplant, sunchoke, kohlrabi, Icelandic chocolate. You can have them all in one extensive meal. Every menu is custom to your event!  (10 person minimum required for tastings)
