Bring a private chef to the house and spend the evening at the table instead of the stove.
You came to Monterey Bay for the view. It seems a waste to spend the best hour of the day facing a hob with your back to it.
A private chef handles the whole evening. They plan the menu around what you actually like, shop for it, cook it in the kitchen, serve it at the table that seats eight, and leave the place exactly as they found it. Fresh Monterey Bay seafood, Santa Cruz County produce, and a menu built for your group rather than pulled off a shelf.
Whether it’s a birthday, an anniversary, a family reunion or simply the one night of the week nobody wants to cook, it turns an ordinary evening at the beach house into the part of the trip everyone remembers.
Tell us what kind of evening you want. A multi-course tasting menu, a relaxed family dinner, a long lazy brunch, or a grill night on the deck. Every menu is built from scratch.
Talk it through directly with your chef. Allergies, dietary requirements, fussy eaters, favorite dishes, wine pairings. Everything is agreed before anyone starts shopping.
Your chef sources the ingredients, cooks in the kitchen, serves each course, and cleans down afterwards. You watch the sun go down over the bay and do nothing at all.
Start slow. Fresh coffee, a proper cooked breakfast and the ocean out of every window, with nothing to wash up before you hit the sand.
A tasting menu built around Monterey Bay seafood and seasonal California produce, served course by course at the table for eight.
A generous, unfussy meal everyone actually wants to eat. Warm, home-cooked and served family style, with zero effort from you.
A chef-run cookout on the deck gas grill, with the whole bay in front of you. Perfect for the last night of the trip.
Spend your evenings watching for whales instead of watching a pan. Private chef services can be arranged for any night of your stay, with menus tailored to your group. Get in touch before you arrive and we’ll set the whole thing up.
