“The best private dining dish is not the one that surprises the guest. It is the one that makes them stop talking for a moment.”
The process
From inquiry
to the last course.
You do not need to know what you want when you reach out. That is our job. The inquiry is the beginning of a conversation — we figure out the rest together.
Fill in the form below — or send a note to hello@bornfidis.com. Tell us the date, the occasion, the number of guests. Dietary needs welcome.
Brian responds within 24 hours to discuss your evening. The call takes 20 minutes. We learn what matters to you and what your guests expect.
A week before the event, we send a culinary note — the direction of the menu, the key dishes, any questions. This is the most personal part of the process.
We arrive 60–90 minutes before your table time. Set up. Cook. Serve. Leave the kitchen clean. The only thing left is the memory of the evening.

Client feedback & record

We just had the maple jerk chicken — perfect spice, perfect sweetness, so so so good. Craig said it was perfect, like super good! No changes from our end — sell it! (Save some for us this summer.)
We asked for Italian with a twist. What we got was a four-day culinary journey that our guests are still talking about.
He always delivers the WOW to his guests and co-workers.
The best private dining dish is not the one that surprises the guest. It is the one that makes them stop talking for a moment.
Every occasion
The table serves
any gathering.
We cook for groups of 4 to 20. The occasion determines the pace, the menu, and the feeling — not a preset package.
Two to six guests. Anniversaries, proposals, milestone birthdays. The most personal occasions deserve the most personal table. We arrive early. We think about every detail.
Eight to twenty guests. Corporate retreats, family reunions, friend weekends. The communal table. A dinner where the conversation outlasts the food.
The occasions that deserve more than a restaurant reservation. A graduation. A promotion. A wedding rehearsal dinner. Whatever the reason — the table is ready.
