Occasions
Novato’s San Marin and Hamilton families celebrate milestone birthdays at home — the guest of honor gets the chef’s full attention, from the onion volcano to the sake pour. The crowd gets dinner and a show, and the hosts actually enjoy their own party.
Novato High and San Marin High grads — Marin graduation season books out fast. A backyard hibachi night beats a packed restaurant every time. June weekends go first — reserve when the caps are ordered.
Big Marin families gather around one grill — from San Rafael to Petaluma, the kids love the zucchini toss, the adults love the sake pour, and nobody cooks or cleans. Three generations around one grill is our favorite sight.
Marin offices from Novato to San Rafael book us for team dinners and client nights people actually remember. We set up on your office patio or a team member’s backyard — hot food, live entertainment, and zero cleanup.

Yes — $50 per party from our Stockton base, anywhere in the Novato area including San Rafael, Petaluma, Larkspur, and Mill Valley. The travel fee is separate and does not count toward the $600 food minimum.
We cook in private Novato backyards, patios, and driveways — not inside the park itself. If your home is near Stafford Lake Park, we set up our grill in your own yard or driveway, so the lake views stay yours and the party stays private. Most Novato backyards fit our setup with room to spare.
Just tables, chairs, plates, and utensils for your guests. We bring the chef, the grill, all ingredients, and complimentary sake — setup takes only minutes on your patio or backyard.
A typical party runs about 90 minutes. We are open daily from 11:00 AM to 9:00 PM, year-round — including holidays.
Adults are $60 per guest with a $600 food minimum per party. Children ages 5–12 are $30, and kids under 5 eat free. Filet mignon is +$5 and lobster +$10 per guest. A 20% gratuity for your chef is suggested, always at your discretion.
