What to call the service we have been offering since last fall is the real question. Here's how it works:
My dinning room is suitable to serve up to 24 people for a private function. You phone ahead for a reservation and we choose a menu. It could be anything from our main menu through our Taste the Local Difference or something else we design just for you. What we can offer depends on how far in advance you book and what you would like it to cost. Given a week you can have anything but phoning the day before may limit your choices a little to what I have on hand. The price ranges from $16.95 a person to up to $25.00 or more depending on what you choose. I like to keep the minimum to 6 people. It is a minimum of 3 courses ( salad, main and dessert) but could be as many as 6 ( our sampler menu) Then you come with your guests and enjoy a private dinning experience. Its like a cross between going to someone's house for dinner ( or having a group at your place) and going to a restaurant. Nice ambiance, private, a sitting area to relax before or after dinner and then a great dinner served either plate service or family style.
We have had 3 or 4 dozen small parties like this since November of last year and they have gone very well. There has been a number of repeat groups ( it seems to be a favorite of the health field workers and the local book club) All the functions have been booked via word of mouth and it's gone very well. It's a really nice change for us as we get to do some of the fancier things that we are capable of but don't do everyday. It's very different to do than a banquet for 100 people.
The real trouble is it is still not well known that we do this and how do you advertise something like it. It doesn't even have a name hence the question: The Chefs Table?
