We used table at home for our girls weekend. Food was well prepared, fresh and delicious. Would have given 5 stars if the portions were better. Way more than enough appetizers provided, just about enough dinner and not at all enough dessert.
This was my first time booking with Table at Home LLC and I was really impressed by the ability to put in a request for a private chef with just about a 1 week notice. Within 2 hours of me putting in a request, I had a proposal in my inbox and eventually two more would follow. The communication with the chefs and their proposals exceeded my expectation. I will definitely be using this service again because the cost is comparable to having a dinner at a restaurant yet being at home affords so many more benefits with the same level of effort.

We used Table at Home 5 years ago and again this past weekend, both for bachelorette parties, with Chef Massimo, and he was wonderful! All the food was really great, the best tiramisu I’ve ever had!

We had a wonderful 80th Birthday Party for my Fsther in Law with the culinary brilliance of Chef Massimo. We had a 4 course meal that was filled with subtle, delicious flavors that were really amazing considering he was cooking for 20. Would absolutely hire again.

I used table at home to book a chef for my baby shower. The site was easy to use and I loved that I could post exactly what I was looking for and wait for chefs to apply if they saw fit. Chef Mattia ended up being a perfect fit and booking him through the site was simple and easy. Mattia and his sous chef were absolutely incredible for my intimate baby shower brunch! They did made-to-order omelettes and crepes, and every single guest kept saying they were the best omelettes and crepes they’ve ever had. We genuinely couldn’t stop talking about how amazing everything tasted. They brought all of the ingredients themselves, everything was incredibly fresh, and the setup was seamless. They arrived right on time, were professional, organized, and so easy to work with. Beyond the food being outstanding, they were such a fun and interactive addition to the shower — it made the whole experience feel extra special. I would recommend them to anyone hosting an event. Truly above and beyond!

Chef Nicole was wonderful to work with. She planned a delicious Thanksgiving menu for our family and friends. She arrived when she said she would and took over my kitchen to prepare the meal. Portions were more than generous and we all raved about how good each item on the menu was. I have lots of leftovers in my fridge for at least 2 more meals for my husband and I. And the kitchen was spotless when she left. If you live in the San Diego area I would highly recommend Chef Nicole for your catered event. We will definitely ask her to come back for another event.

We hired Table at Home for our father’s 70th birthday, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. Our chefs, Gabriel and Gabriella, were incredibly professional from start to finish. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the portions were more than generous. They even brought wine, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the evening feel extra special. The entire process was smooth, reliable, and easy to coordinate. I would highly recommend Table at Home to anyone looking for a memorable, stress-free private dining experience.

Fantastic service! I was interested in chef services for a gathering at my home and received several bids within an hour of submitting my request. The chef we chose was outstanding. He went above and beyond to incorporate into his menu proposal changes I needed at the last minute. He adhered to my schedule to the minute for dinner service that evening. Food was delicious and raved by the guests. And he thoroughly cleaned up afterwards! Highly recommend

This was my first time using a private chef and Chef Tiya knocked it out the park we had the 4 course meal with Appetizers: Crab cake medallions, salad, and I added Stuff shrimp. For the main course salmon with veggies did not come short of anything it was amazing. Even her signature desert 🤤 I would definitely recommend Using table at home and use chef Tiya she’s the best in my opinion.

We had an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS experience with Table at Home and Chef Joseph Santos, who made our 10-person dinner party the best event we could have imagined. Ahead of time, he worked with us on our menu, he was so attentive to details, the food was unbelievable, and he’s a warm and fun personality to have at the event!

Table at Home made it super easy to connect with the right chef to create a beautiful dinner for my Mom’s 90th birthday. @Chef Sunny Zhenting presented a creative menu and was open to ideas to finalize the perfect menu. He was diligent in keeping in touch and his food was outstanding! He also served the food with charm and grace and left the kitchen spotless. I would go beyond highly recommending Chef Sunny!

The website was easy to use and very quick in responding to my request. My siblings and I had the pleasure of hiring chef Paolo and he was AMAZING! We will be coming back for more. His quick response and the open communication was greatly appreciated. He answered all my questions and for that he made my parents anniversary dinner memorable.

This was a very efficient operation, I needed a in-home Koch for Fourth of July, contacted them relatively short notice. We got not one but too good offers from Chef and had a great experience.

We were looking for a private chef for a dinner party to celebrate my 60th birthday. We received 3 quotes and chose one after reading reviews and menu suggestions. I think any of the 3 would have been wonderful. We were very pleased with the communication and our chef showed up with plenty of time, prepared a delicious 3 course meal with passed hors d’oeuvres. The helper served drinks to our 16 guests, they served the meal and they cleaned up afterwards. A fantastic way to throw a dinner party.

About us

We want to make it easy to hire a great independent private chef for your next dinner party or small event

Our idea started with a belief that great experiences happen over food, and that few things are more authentic than a meal cooked in your own home.

This got us wondering:

How can those of us who are a little short on time experience a meal at home that is a little more authentic than a meal kit or delivery?

And, where can chefs practice their passion if they don’t want to work the traditional 6 days a week in a restaurant or give up their day jobs?

Our solution is Table at Home. We have made it simple to organize a great private chef to cook for you in your home. Posting a request only takes minutes, and we have taken the guesswork out of choosing a private chef with customer reviews and photos of chefs’ creations.

While our specialty is Private Chef Dinner Parties, you can also use Table at Home to hire a Private Chef for Private Cooking lessons, Vacation home catering, Special celebrations and any time that you need an amazing food experience in your home.

We launched at the start of 2018 with a roster of amazing private chefs serving Washington D.C. and the broader DMV area. Since then, we have expanded the service to a roster of Private Chefs in New York (including Private Chefs who service The Hamptons, Jersey City and Greenwich) and a group of top Private Chefs in Chicago. In late 2018 we moved west, starting our service with Private Chefs in Los Angeles (where we have private chefs who service everywhere from Malibu to Hollywood and south to Orange County) and San Diego (where we have Private Chefs for dinner parties and Airbnb vacation home rental catering).

We are independently owned and run by passionate foodies, and pride ourselves on providing a fair platform for both Chefs and their Customers.
