What customers say

The ABSOLUTE best!!!! The service from the company was exceptional, questions were answered promptly and courteously and the website easy to use. When it came to the actual chef and meal and can not say enough about how perfect the evening was. The food not only tasted divine but was presently beautifully. The chef prepared the meal, served the guests and then cleaned up. I will use TABLE AT HOME again and again.read more

I used Table at Home to book a dinner as a birthday gift to my wife. I tried a couple of other sites but got no response or ended up more confused the more I communicated. Table at Home's communication was superb, Daniel (I think I have the name right) answered all my questions within minutes. The only problem we had was that the three menus provided by the chefs were so well put together it made the decision difficult. The chef that we chose also communicated very clearly. The meal was superb, the chef was both interesting and professional. My wife told me it was one of the best gifts I have ever gotten her.read more

I wish more companies had the customer service and made life as easy as Table at Home does. We used Table at Home for a birthday dinner for my wife and 7 of our friends. They made finding a chef so fun and so easy. I looked around for a bit to try and find a personal chef, with not a lot of luck until I found this service. All I had to do was write a brief description of a menu/food type I was looking for, a budget and how many people would be there. It was really fun to get bids from different chefs with completely​ different menus. We chose Chef Adam who was phenomenal​. After selecting I received a text from Daniel letting me know if I needed anything at all he was there to help. His contact before the dinner and checking in to make sure everything went great was very appreciated. It was a dining experience we will never forget. I can't recommend using this service enough. Make your life easier, ​more fun​ and a lot more delicious by using Table at Home!!!read more

I used Table at Home to host my husband‘s birthday this past Friday. Chef Sam came along with Sous-Chef Raymond. They worked well together to deliver a wonderful experience. We were not rushed (this was important to me), and as expected, they left my kitchen clean.I’m giving a 4 star vs 5 mainly because of the 2 starters. Frankly I was disappointed with the starters but this was partly on me. I recalled my initial conversation and the initial pictures that were sent to me from the proposal and that stayed with me. Although Chef Sam made the time to discuss the menu, I was always commuting/driving and must have missed the change with the starters. Also in his defense, he emailed me the final iteration of the menu and I did not review it. However, I have had different chefs services and I have a fair understanding of what my budget allows for. Salad, entrées and desserts were superb. Chef Sam did an amazing job with these 3 servings. He used fresh vegetables and herbs and he blended the flavors very well. We had fish and steak for entrées and again he used good cuts of fish and steak. And he wrapped up the evening very nicely with a warm chocolate lava cake.read more

Service, communication, and food were exceptional. The website is straightforward. The communication from selecting your menu down to the tiniest of details in communicating with your chef was surprisingly easy and accommodating. Highly recommend!

The food, service and communication were all exceptional. I would definitely do this again and I would highly recommend. It was so enjoyable to have a better than restaurant quality meal in the comfort of our home. We used table at home for a graduation dinner and couldn’t have been more pleased. In addition, our daughter is gluten free so the meal was gluten free but enjoyed by all the guests. The presentation and quality of foods was a true treat. Chef Brenda is the best!!!!read more

I wanted to do something unique and special for our anniversary. A night out in the city seemed just ordinary so I happened upon Table At Home. From start to finish it was such an easy process with both the website and chef (Shawn Burnette) were quick to answer any questions I had to assuage my concerns. I felt like I had very good options from great chefs within hours of posting my request. It was hard to choose which one to pick, but in the end Chef Shawn was not only a very professional and top notch chef who made us a dinner that rivaled anything we would have had in the city he was also friendly and personable which added a great touch to the dinner. Overall we spent less that we would have at a night out, and had so much fun. I would definitely recommend this website to anyone, and will be looking for reasons to use it again. The best!read more

Chef Isaiah effortlessly prepared an exquisite 4 course meal for 8 at our AirBnB in the DC area. Upon request, he also created “mocktail” pairings for each course. My work team enjoyed the meal immensely—I have a feeling this won’t be the last time we’ll use Table At Home!read more

Thanks to Kimberley we were able to spend a quiet anniversary dinner for two at home. No reservations, no crowds, no parking issues, and no need to get all dressed up for a restaurant quality dinner! The food was amazing! She is the ultimate professional, kind and caring. I initially imagined I would be getting a crazy chef that you see on tv, but it was like having a good friend over. I have to stop watching so many reality tv shows.read more

This service is remarkable and I can’t recommend it more highly. Not only was Daniel, who runs the company, helpful, informative and accessible, Chef Blaire was nothing short of OUTSTANDING! She was immediately available to discuss and customize her mouth-watering menu, made intuitive suggestions based on my needs, and impressed my husband and I with her vast knowledge and experience as a chef around the world. Chef Blaire’s meal for my husband’s surprise birthday party dinner in our home astounded us all. We were a large group, all of us foodies and most of us cooks in our own right, and her Mediterranean/fusion menu blew us away: beautiful platters of vibrant vegetables, delicious soup, fish, braised short rib, chicken, 3 different desserts to die for- we were beyond sated when the evening was over. As a surprising addition, Chef Blaire is remarkably knowledgable about wines and wine pairing. Truly, we wouldn’t change a single thing from this evening!read more

Very convenient. Posted a meal request on Friday, did a search for local chefs, invited some to post a meal, then waited. By the next Tuesday, I had enough responses to make a choice. The chef prepared a great meal for 4 adults and 4 kids, and everyone really enjoyed the experience. If you are looking for a personal chef service, I really thing this one works.read more

The meal prepared by Chef Jacqueline was excellent. The kitchen in our vacation rental wasn't the best, actually for a house that size it was horrible. However, despite that set back Chef Jacqueline pulled off an amazing meal. The menu was diverse enough to entertain sophisticated foodies yet tame enough that even the most timid eater enjoyed the meal. She cooked for 13 men and not a single one of us left the dinner table hungry, we were stuffed! It was just a great experience! Thank you Chef Jacqueline and Table at Home for making that dinner possible and easy to put together.Nathanread more

I used Table at Home to plan a surprise birthday dinner for my wife and some of our closest friends. I was very happy with the process from beginning to end. The website is easy to use; providing details about the meal to allow chefs to submit proposals and communicate with them regarding any questions was great. The chefs all seemed professional and the one we ultimately selected was spectacular... it was probably one of the best meals that I've had in a long while.read more

Massimo and his wife Tara were amazing. We held a party last night that set up, executed and concluded without any glitches. The aroma that was coming from the kitchen when I arrived home was amazing. That was only the beginning of what was an tastefully planned night of food, presentation and detailed description of everything we were about to eat. If I were to have to pick my favorite course I would have to say ALL of them. Each course was paired perfectly with ingredients that made each dish another wonderful experience. Massimo’s nearly 40 years of experience in high end restraunts shows in everything he does. Massimo and Tara are very friendly and made cooking another entertaining event for me and my guests to watch. If you are planning an event or special celebration, I would highly Recommend Massimo !!read more

I used Table at Home for a private dinner for 2 to celebrate my wife's 40th birthday. Because of her dietary restrictions I was concerned about finding a chef that would be able to accommodate yet make a great meal. Enter Chef James. He was AMAZING! He not only revised his menu to fit her needs, but also took the time to research the FODMAP diet she had been put on. Once the menu was set, Chef James reached out to me with a few questions about my kitchen. We confirmed the time and he showed up promptly. My wife was completely surprised and Chef James prepared an impeccable 3 course meal. He set the table before we ate and made sure our wine glasses were never empty. Chef James' attention to detail did not go unnoticed. We were absolutely satisfied with our service. Thanks Table at Home and of course Chef James!read more

Where we serve

For each city / metro area, our service area extends in a roughly 30 mile radius from the city center.

Please try your zip code on our Request a meal page to see if we have chefs who service your home.

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:

  1. 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?

  2. 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.

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).

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.

If you love the convenience of shared economy platforms like AirBnB and Uber, we think you will love the experience of using Table at Home to find an amazing private chef.
