A private restaurant for two, inside your home. Your chef cooks every course to order — no other tables, no distractions, no time limit.
Private chef · Chicago
Every restaurant table is shared — with the noise, the other couples, the table they need back by ten. A private chef gives you the opposite: a space that is entirely yours, a menu designed for the evening, and someone whose only job is to make it exceptional.
A romantic private dinner typically runs four to six courses: something cold to open — oysters, a tuna tartare, a ceviche — then warm starters, a main that arrives at its exact moment, and a dessert your chef builds at the table. Pacing is everything, and a private chef controls it in a way a restaurant never can.
The detail that matters most: your chef is invisible between courses. They cook, plate, deliver, and disappear. The evening belongs to you.
Real experiences
The live chat made it so easy — I described what I wanted and had three menus to choose from within the hour. No back-and-forth emails, no stress.
Hosted a big family lunch and didn't lift a finger. The kids had their own menu, my mother actually sat down to eat for once, and the kitchen was spotless after.
Hosted a backyard dinner for my husband's 50th and hired a chef instead of catering. He did a Texas BBQ spread that had people going back for fourths. Genuinely the most relaxed I've ever been at my own party.
FAQ
Everything about booking a private chef for romantic dinner in Chicago.
A focused four-to-six course menu outperforms a big spread. Think: one elegant starter, a fish or pasta course, a carefully chosen main (wagyu, lobster, or a classic French preparation), and a dessert with theatre — a soufflé, a chocolate fondant, tableside flambé. Discuss with your chef what suits both of you.
Yes. Common requests include a dish from a meaningful restaurant or trip, a specific ingredient (black truffle, A5 wagyu), or a dessert with something personal written in chocolate. Tell your chef in the booking notes and they'll confirm feasibility.
Your chef focuses on the food and service. Table setting, flowers, and candles are yours to arrange. Many clients in Dubai use a florist alongside the chef booking — the chef fits around whatever atmosphere you've created.
A four-to-six course tasting menu typically takes two to three hours at a comfortable pace. Your chef adjusts timing to you — there is no reservation to vacate.
