Let someone else handle dinner while you handle what matters.

The last thing you need when preparing for this conversation is the stress of cooking for a crowd or coordinating takeout orders.

Menu Options:

Choose from elegant comfort food, seasonal farm-to-table cuisine, cultural specialties, or whatever feels right for your family. This can be as casual as an elevated pasta dinner or as refined as a multi-course experience.

Why It Matters:

This conversation asks a lot of everyone at the table. Having a chef handle the meal removes one source of stress and adds an element of care and occasion that signals: this matters, you matter, and we’re doing this right.

Pricing: $250 per person (3-person minimum)

How It Works:

After you book, you’ll receive a separate email connecting you with our chef partner to plan your menu. The chef coordinates timing with your Setting the Table session to ensure everything flows seamlessly.
