Occasions
Stanford grads — and Palo Alto High and Gunn High seniors. Graduation weekends on the Peninsula book out fast, and a backyard hibachi night beats a packed University Avenue restaurant every time. Families fly in from everywhere for one grill, one graduate, one unforgettable night.
Palo Alto’s Professorville and Crescent Park 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.
Silicon Valley teams book us for dinners and client nights people actually remember — founders’ dinners, board celebrations, and team milestones. We set up at your office patio or a team member’s backyard, with the discretion and polish the occasion deserves.
Palo Alto anniversaries get the private-chef treatment — a candlelit patio, a live hibachi show for two (or twenty), and zero restaurant noise. Couples tell us the private show feels like a chef’s table — except it’s in their backyard.
