FAQ
Answers to our frequently asked questions before your first tasting. For anything not addressed here, we welcome the conversation.
Where do you cater?
We're based in Northbrook, where we serve the greater Chicagoland area and travel up to 75 miles for events.
How far in advance should we book?
We can book as close to 4 weeks out, or as far as a year or more in advance, schedule permitting.
Do you offer tastings?
Yes. We host a complimentary tasting for up to 4 guests at our restaurant in Northbrook. Additional guests are $60 per person.
Beyond the menu, do you handle staffing, rentals, and bar service?
Yes. We're a full-service caterer. Staff, rentals, bar service, and food are all handled by our in-house team, so you're not coordinating with multiple vendors.
Do you charge rental fees for glassware, plateware, and silverware?
Never. We're a unique caterer that owns our collection of glassware, plateware, and silverware. There are no rental fees, third-party vendors, or suprise line items on your invoice. More of your budget goes where it belongs: the food and the experience.
How is pricing structured?
Most events are priced per person, though we are happy to structure it another way if it suits you better. Every proposal is tailored to your menu, guest count, and special accommodations.
Do you accommodate dietary needs and allergies?
Yes. We regularly accommodate allergies and dietary restrictions without compromising the rest of your menu.
Do you offer multi-course tasting menus?
Yes. We compose formal tasting menus of every scale, from a 3-course dinner to a 12-course experience.
How do we reserve our date?
A $2,000 deposit secures your date. The final balance is due 10 days before your event. Until then, your menu remains open to refinement.
