Do I choose the menu?

My seasonal menus reflect the dishes and wines I'm most passionate about, and they're a great starting point for browsing. But they're not the only option. Some clients come to me with a vision of their own, and I'm always happy to design a fully custom menu around your preferences, dietary needs, and the occasion.

How far in advance do I need to book?

All events must be booked a minimum of 21 days before your event date, no exceptions. This allows adequate time for menu consultation, ingredient sourcing, and preparation. For weekend dates, summer events, and holiday gatherings, I strongly recommend booking 6 to 8 weeks in advance as my calendar fills quickly.

Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?

Absolutely. Most of my menus are naturally adaptable for gluten-free, celiac, vegetarian, vegan, and other dietary needs. We'll discuss any restrictions during the consultation to ensure every guest enjoys the experience.

Can you source the wine, or should we provide it?

Either works beautifully. I maintain a personal cellar of over 1,000 bottles and hold direct allocations from producers across California, Oregon, Washington, select Old World estates and other sources. I'll curate selections specifically for your menu, or if you have bottles you love, I'm happy to build the pairings around what you already have. Wine curation is priced as part of your overall event package and discussed during consultation.

Do you bring assistants?

For intimate dinners up to 12 guests, it's just me, giving you my full, personalized attention throughout the evening. For larger events, I may bring one assistant to ensure seamless service.

What is your cancellation policy?

Cancellations 30 or more days before your event receive a full deposit refund minus a $75 administrative fee. Cancellations 14 to 29 days out forfeit the deposit. Cancellations fewer than 14 days out forfeit the deposit plus 25% of the remaining balance. Reschedules are handled on a case-by-case basis with as much flexibility as my calendar allows.

Do you do events outside San Diego County?

Yes. I serve all of California. Travel fees apply for events more than 35 miles from downtown San Diego and overnight accommodations may be required for certain destinations.

What makes this different from typical catering?

This is more personal than traditional catering. I personally shop for your ingredients, cook every course, plate every dish, and remain present throughout the evening. It's a high touch experience designed specifically for you and your guests.
