A Clear Minimum. A Personal Proposal.
For event services, plan for the greater of the quoted per-guest total or the listed event minimum—not the two added together. Smaller parties still meet the event minimum. For example, four guests at $165 totals $660, so the $850 plated-dinner minimum applies before any separately agreed charges.
Starting ranges are planning guidance, not a fixed-price booking. Your written proposal itemizes the agreed food and service, any applicable taxes, staffing, travel, rentals, beverage arrangements, and gratuity policy before you approve. Recommended wine pairings do not mean alcohol is included. Weekly provisioning starts at $375 per week plus groceries; portions, containers, and schedule are confirmed personally.

A Signature Preparation
Pan-Fried Soft-Shell Crab

A seasonal guide—not a live dock report.
These are culinary inspirations, not official harvest dates or guaranteed local landings. Availability varies with weather, approved harvest areas, regulations, supplier stock, and your event date. Species may be available outside these months. Fresh versus previously frozen sourcing and any substitutions are discussed before menu confirmation; a never-frozen supply is not guaranteed.
