Tell us about the night
Your date, guest count, kitchen, and anything your guests can or cannot eat. We ask more questions than you expect — that is the point.
We design the menu
A custom multi-course menu built around the season and the occasion, sent back with a flat quote before you commit to anything.
We source and prep
Fish, produce, and proteins bought fresh for your date. Prep happens ahead so your kitchen is not a construction site when guests arrive.
Service, then a clean kitchen
Courses go out one at a time, plated in your kitchen. When the last plate is cleared, we clean up and leave the room the way we found it.

Before you book.
- What does a personal chef in Virginia Beach cost?
- Every evening is quoted individually, because the price depends on the menu, the number of courses, your guest count, and whether you add bar service. Send us your date and headcount and we will come back with a custom menu and a flat, all-in quote — sourcing, prep, service, and cleanup included, with no surprise line items.
- What is the difference between a private chef party and catering?
- A private chef party is cooked in your kitchen and served course by course to a seated table, so the food arrives the moment it is plated. Luxury catering is built for larger groups — grazing tables, chafing-dish spreads, or passed plates — and is designed so guests can move around. Room 32 does both, and we will tell you honestly which one fits your space and guest count.
- Do you travel to Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Williamsburg?
- Yes. Virginia Beach is our home base, and we regularly work in Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, and Williamsburg. If you are just outside those cities, ask anyway — we will let you know if the date works.
- How far in advance should I book a private dinner party?
- Two to four weeks is comfortable for most dinners, and longer for holidays, graduation weekends, and December. Last-minute dates are worth asking about — we sometimes have an opening, and we would rather tell you no quickly than leave you waiting.
