Private chef craft, brought to your home.

Private dining along the Gulf Coast

Serving Tampa, St. Petersburg, Clearwater, and Tampa Bay, alongside Sarasota, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Lakewood Ranch, and Bradenton.

A sunset dinner, a family gathering by the water, or a celebration at home. Our team handles chef selection, menu design, sourcing, and service throughout your experience.

How it works

Three steps to your event.

From first note to the final course — quietly handled, end to end.

  1. Submit an inquiry today

    Share a few details about your event — date, area, guest count, and the feeling you have in mind. It takes just a few moments.

  2. A call with our chef

    We get on a call to walk through your menu — courses, pairings, sourcing, and any preferences or dietary notes for the table.

  3. We plan your event from start to finish

    Sourcing, prep, service, and the quiet details — composed and held by our team so you simply arrive at the table with guests.

For the host

Quietly considered, thoughtfully set.

NetChefs is for the host who treats an event at home the way a great restaurant treats a tasting — the menu written for the room, the pace held by the team, and every detail set down quietly before guests arrive.

Our chefs come from Michelin kitchens and private tables around the world. Sourcing, courses, pairings, and service are designed for your event, never pulled from a shelf.

— Craft, composed for a single table.

  1. I. A table that matters. Milestones, closings, anniversaries, quiet dinners that deserve care.
  2. II. Tailored menus — not a set list. Written to your guests, your season, and the room you are hosting in.
  3. III. Sourcing without shortcuts. Market-led ingredients, specialty proteins, and the finer touches when wanted.
  4. IV. Discreet, attentive service. From arrival to clean finish, so you stay present with your guests.

An intentional event — chosen by hosts who already know the difference, and would like it brought home.
