Formats and pricing

Three ways to set the table.

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.

The formats

A long dining table set for ten with linen, low candles and stoneware in a Foothills home at golden hour

01 · The flagship · 8 to 12 guests

The Signature Table

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

What is included
Family-style platters being passed along a candlelit outdoor table at dusk under oak trees

02 · Family style · 12 to 20 guests

The Long Table

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

What is included
Two place settings at a kitchen island with a single candle while a chef finishes a plate

03 · Intimate · 2 to 6 guests

The Chef's Counter

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

The practical part

Terms, plainly.

Holding the date
A 50 percent deposit holds the date. The balance is due seven days before the dinner, when the guest count locks.
Cancellation
Full refund at 14 days or more. Inside 14 days the deposit is retained. Inside three days there is no refund, except that we will rebook the dinner within 60 days.
Lead time
Seven days minimum at launch. Requests inside two days are for returning hosts only.
Travel
Travel is included within 30 miles of Placerville. Beyond that, a $75 travel fee applies; South Lake Tahoe is quoted separately in winter.
Tax and gratuity
All prices are before sales tax, which is charged at the rate for the address where dinner is served. Gratuity is at your discretion and goes entirely to the chef and assistant.
Wine
Wine and spirits are provided by the host. Our chefs are happy to open and pour what you have chosen.
