Private Dinners
Dinner at home, without lifting a pan
A seasonal tasting menu cooked in your kitchen and served course by course at your table — the pace and warmth of a restaurant tasting, in the comfort of your own home.
Ideal for anniversaries, birthdays, proposals, supper clubs and the nights you simply want to be at the table instead of the stove.
Menus begin with what is fresh, seasonal and worth cooking right now — organic whenever possible, with every sauce and component made from scratch. They typically run three to seven courses and lean into whatever Texas is growing: spring citrus and radish, summer tomatoes and Gulf snapper, autumn squash cooked over coals. Cured fish, crisp masa bites, herb-heavy salads and a dessert that isn't an afterthought.
Daniel arrives with his own tools and mise, cooks in your kitchen, plates each course, styles the table if you'd like, and leaves everything clean. Wine and cocktail pairings, batched aperitivos and a welcome bite on arrival can all be added.
