A Restaurant Night at Your Own Table — Private Chef in Miami, FL
Casseau brings eleven years of fine-dining kitchens to your home — a tasting menu cooked in your kitchen, served at your table, and cleaned down to the last pan while you linger over dessert.
Eleven Years of Fine Dining, Minus the Reservation List
Casseau Private Dining was founded after a decade on the line in Michelin-starred and James Beard-nominated kitchens — the last four running a tasting-menu restaurant's pass. The realization: the best nights in food were never the busiest services. They were the small rooms, the long tables, the dinners where the cook could actually talk to the people eating.
Now the restaurant comes to you. Every menu is written for your table — your tastes, your allergies, your occasion — sourced that morning and cooked in your kitchen like it's the only booking that matters. Because it is.
- ✓Michelin-starred kitchen pedigree
- ✓Menus written per table, never repeated
- ✓Sommelier wine pairings available
- ✓Insured, discreet, background-checked team
Evenings We Cook
From a table for two to a villa weekend for forty — every experience is menu-first and staffed to match.
How a Casseau Night Unfolds
You set the table count. We handle every minute after the doorbell.
We Arrive Quietly
Chef and team arrive two hours ahead with the day's sourcing, set the kitchen, and disappear into prep.
Aperitivo Hour
Canapés and a welcome pour land as your guests do — the kitchen hums while you host.
The Courses
Each plate is finished at your counter and served with a line or two of its story — never a lecture.
Vanishing Act
Dessert lingers; we don't. The kitchen is returned spotless and we're gone before the last glass empties.
From Inquiry to First Course
Most evenings are confirmed within 48 hours of the first call.
Tell Us the Occasion
Date, guest count, location, and what the night is for — celebration, milestone, or no reason at all.
Menu Consultation
A call with the chef to shape courses around your tastes, allergies, and the season's market.
We Source & Prep
Morning-of sourcing from Miami's fish markets and farms; your kitchen needs nothing but counter space.
Dinner Is Served
Cooked, plated, poured, and cleared at your table — then the kitchen returned spotless.
What the Hosts Say
Chef arrived at five, and by eight our dining room felt like the best table in Miami. Six courses, wine poured at the right moments, and a kitchen cleaner than when he walked in. Our guests still think we hired a restaurant.
I proposed between the third and fourth course. The timing, the music cue, the dessert with the ring — Casseau choreographed all of it and vanished at exactly the right moment.
We book the weekly service — five dinners in the fridge, labeled, restaurant-good. It quietly fixed our whole household's evenings.
One Table Per Night. Yours?
Casseau cooks a single booking each evening, and weekends fill 3-4 weeks out. Tell us your date and we'll confirm within 48 hours.
Private Chef Questions
How much does a private chef dinner cost?
Dinner parties start at $145 per guest for three courses; chef's tasting menus run $225-350 per guest depending on courses and sourcing. Weekly chef service is quoted flat per week. Every quote is itemized — food, service, and staffing shown separately.
What do you need from my kitchen?
Surprisingly little — working burners, an oven, and counter space. We bring knives, pans, plating ware, and anything specialized. We've cooked tasting menus in studio kitchens and on yachts; yours will be fine.
Can you handle allergies and preferences?
That's the point of a private chef. The menu consultation covers allergies, aversions, and favorites, and every course is built around them — no sad substitutions at the table.
Do you provide wine pairings?
Yes — a sommelier-selected pairing for each course, or we'll build the menu around bottles you already love. Corkage never applies in your own home.
How far in advance should we book?
Weekends book 3-4 weeks out; holiday weeks go 6-8 weeks ahead. Weeknights can often be arranged within the week. We cook one booking per night, so the date is the scarce thing.
Do you serve beyond Miami?
Regularly — Fort Lauderdale, the Keys, and multi-day villa stays anywhere in South Florida. Travel beyond Miami-Dade is quoted flat with your menu.
