— HYBRID MENU —

This is by far and away the most popular format over the years and currently….

More and more, clients have asked to blend two types of service. In this hybrid format, your guests can start with a few light appetizers & drinks then sit for a 3-course menu at the table. Want more appetizers, no problem, then sit for just an Entree and a Dessert. You build it the way you want. Work with Mike on customizing this to your preferences. You can balance the menu to fit your crowd or the flow you want for the evening!

(requires payment of 8 person minimum)

$125/person + *food costs

“HOW MUCH DOES THE FOOD PORTION COST NORMALLY FOR A REGULAR DINNER PARTY?”

-This is the most common question that I get asked when speaking with a new client. The answer is I don’t know... until we plan and YOU decide on your final menu! Every menu is custom designed to your requests and no dinner is the same as a previous one. I can work with you on estimating and budgeting the food expenses and make choices based on your comforts.
