Sit-down Dinners

  Chef Roman will work with you in creating a delicious menu for any special dining occasion 
  catered in the comfort of your own home. Prior to your dinner he will consult with you about 
  what kind of party you'd like to give, how many guests you plan to invite and any other details 
  to make your party perfect. A special menu will then be designed for your particular tastes. 
  Chef Roman will also be happy to make changes to the menu to accommodate a guest's 
  special requests or restrictions. 

  On the day of your dinner Chef Roman will take care of all the shopping and arrange for any   
  rental and professional/personable wait staff if needed. All you will need to do is send out the 
  invitations. For larger parties where service staff is required, the staff will take care of all 
  your table set up as well. 
  
  After enjoying a fantastic meal you can enjoy your dessert while we clean your kitchen  
  spotless.

  Contact Chef Roman for pricing to suit your individual event.
