FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is there a minimum guest count?
Most private dinners start at just 2 guests, with larger celebrations and full catering scaled to fit any group size — from an intimate table for two to a full wedding reception.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 2–3 weeks ahead for private dinners, and 6–8 weeks for larger events like weddings or corporate functions — though we'll always do our best to accommodate shorter notice when possible.
Do you accommodate dietary restrictions?
Yes — every menu is fully custom, with no cuisine or dietary limitations. Allergies, preferences, and specific requests are simply part of the planning conversation.
What areas do you serve?
Sonoma County is the primary focus, with travel available anywhere for the right occasion.
