PRIVATE CHEF’S COUNTER BUYOUT

The Chef’s Tasting Experience is J.C. Holdway’s most personal chef-led dinner: a private, multi-course menu prepared by Chef Joseph Lenn for one party of up to six guests. The full Chef’s Counter is reserved for your group, with bar-height seating beside the open kitchen, a direct view of the cooking, and interaction with the culinary team throughout the evening. Each menu is bespoke and guided by the season.

​

REGULAR CHEF’S COUNTER SEATING

Regular Chef’s Counter seats are available for à la carte dining and may be booked directly on Resy. These reservations are part of standard dinner service and are distinct from the private Chef’s Tasting Experience.

​

AVAILABILITY & HOW TO RESERVE

The private Chef’s Tasting Experience is offered on a limited basis, subject to Chef Joseph Lenn’s availability. It is not shown on Resy. Requests may be made up to three months in advance and should be submitted at least 14 days before the desired date. Email hello@jcholdway.com with your preferred date range, number of guests, the occasion, and all allergy or dietary information. A reservation is confirmed only after availability is approved and the deposit is received.

 

PRICING & DEPOSIT

$3,000 for up to six guests. The price includes service charges and excludes beverages and taxes. A 50% nonrefundable deposit of $1,500 is required to secure the date; the remaining balance is charged 72 hours before the experience.

Requests to change the date more than seven days in advance may be eligible for one reschedule, subject to availability. Cancellations or changes within seven days are not permitted, and payments are forfeited.

​

ALLERGIES & DIETARY CONSIDERATIONS

All allergies and dietary needs must be disclosed with the initial inquiry so our team can determine whether the experience is feasible. The Counter sits directly beside an active open kitchen where shellfish, dairy, nuts, alliums, smoke, and other common allergens are present. We cannot accommodate severe or airborne food allergies, including extreme shellfish allergies, and cannot guarantee allergen isolation. Vegan, dairy-free, allium-free, and seed-oil-free diets cannot be accommodated.
