About Us

Fine dining, without the reservation. We bring the restaurant to you — your dining room, your cottage, your rented chalet. Chef Michael McFarland builds every menu from scratch around your table: your tastes, your occasion, your dietary needs. Four to six courses, sourced and cooked the day of, plated to restaurant standard. Certified Sommelier Daniel McDonough pairs the wine if you want it. Then we clean up and leave your kitchen exactly as we found it.
