Overview

Gather friends in Santa Barbara, California for a chef-prepared dinner party at home, featuring a 3-course menu built around your group's tastes and full cleanup afterward.

📅 Pick the date, time, and room in your Santa Barbara home for the dinner party

🍷 Mix and match courses, from Central Coast produce and coastal seafood to global favorites

🔪 Watch your chef cook and plate each course right in your kitchen

✨ Wake up to a spotless kitchen, since your chef cleans before leaving

Santa Barbara is known for Central Coast wine, coastal seafood, and fresh California produce, and a Private Chef Experience brings that same passion for great food straight to your dining table. Whether it's a birthday dinner for four or a celebration for eight, a professional chef takes over your kitchen and serves a custom 3-course meal, so you can spend the evening with your guests instead of at the stove. Choose an entrée plus 2 other courses from soup, salad, appetizer, and dessert, with options ranging from Central Coast produce to cuisines from around the world.

How it works:

  1. Pick Your Date: Lock in the date and time for your gathering and browse menus from chefs who serve the Santa Barbara area.
  2. Connect With Your Chef: Expect a call or message from your chef within 48 hours to confirm the menu and any special requests.
  3. Dinner Is Served: On the day, your chef shows up fully prepared, cooks in your kitchen, and serves each course to your guests.
  4. Enjoy and Unwind: Savor the meal with your guests while your chef cleans up, leaving your kitchen spotless.
