In-Home Private Dining in New York City
Host a restaurant-quality dinner in your home or apartment across NYC and nearby areas. Catering & Dining LLC plans the menu, shops for approved ingredients, cooks on site in your kitchen, and serves your guests with attentive hospitality.
Private Dining
A restaurant-level evening in your home — menu, pacing, and service built around your guests, not a fixed public menu. We handle sourcing, cooking, and plating so you can stay present at the table.
- Custom menus shaped around allergies, preferences, and the mood of the night
- Grocery shopping, prep, and cooking in your kitchen
- Plated courses with relaxed pacing and thoughtful presentation
- Scale from a table of four to larger seated celebrations
- Clear quotes and payment terms before the date is confirmed
Dining at home, without the stress
In-home private dining is built for couples, families, and small groups who want a special meal where they already feel comfortable. We focus on timing, pacing, and presentation so you can stay with your guests instead of working the kitchen.
Where we serve
We regularly plan in-home experiences in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and select Long Island locations. Long Island City in Queens is our service base. Destination or travel events may be considered separately—ask when you inquire.
Start with a conversation
Every booking begins with your inquiry: date, address or neighborhood, headcount, and the tone of the evening. We follow up personally before any menu or price is finalized.
Questions
How does in-home private dining work?
You share your date, location, guest count, and occasion through our contact form. We review the details, discuss menu direction and service scope, and send a personalized proposal. Your date is held only after you accept the agreement and complete the payment steps described in your booking documents.
What is included in a private chef experience?
Typical scope includes menu planning, ingredient coordination, on-site cooking, and plated service for the agreed menu. Cleanup of cooking areas used during service is defined in your proposal. Extra servers, coordination, or beverage stations are not assumed—they are discussed when you inquire and confirmed in writing when available.
Can menus be customized?
Yes. Menus are written for your guests, kitchen, and occasion. Share preferences, courses, and any cultural or celebratory touches when you inquire so we can reflect them in the proposal.
How do you handle dietary restrictions and allergies?
Tell us about allergies, restrictions, and preferences during planning. We discuss what can be accommodated safely before you confirm a booking. Final menus and service details are confirmed in your proposal or agreement.
How far in advance should I inquire?
Contact us as early as your plans allow—popular dates and larger gatherings often need more coordination time. We confirm whether your date is available when we reply to your inquiry.
How do pricing and deposits work?
Pricing depends on guest count, menu, location, and service scope. Deposits, payment schedules, and accepted methods are spelled out in your personalized proposal and booking agreement—not on this website.
How do I submit an event inquiry?
Use the contact form at https://www.cateringdining.com/contact (no client account required for an initial inquiry). You may also reach us through the email and channels listed on our contact page.
