Formats and pricing
Every dinner is composed for the occasion. The format decides the shape of the evening: plated and paced, family-style and generous, or intimate at the counter.
A restaurant chef arrives two and a half hours before the first course, cooks four plated courses in your kitchen, serves the table with an assistant, and leaves the kitchen cleaner than they found it. A printed menu waits on every plate. This is the evening most people mean when they ask about Bougie Table. $185 per guest · $1,400 minimum · plus sales tax
For the holidays, the reunion, and the team dinner at someone's home. Three generous courses arrive on platters that get passed, a chef and a server keep everything warm and moving, and the room does the rest. The most relaxed way to feed twenty people well. $135 per guest · $1,800 minimum · plus sales tax
An anniversary, a proposal, a birthday for two couples. The chef cooks solo at your counter and talks you through each of five small courses as they come. The closest thing to a chef's table in a restaurant, without the reservation. $225 per guest · $900 minimum · plus sales tax
