An Evening.
From the first aroma in the hallway to the last glass on the table.
From the first aroma in the hallway to the last glass on the table.
You arrive to something already underway. The kitchen is alive — something is reducing, something is resting, and Zen is moving through it all with the kind of focus that makes a room go quiet.
Each dish is composed for your table — the season, the occasion, the people gathered. You might be handed something to taste while a sauce finishes. You might watch a plating that makes the table fall silent before anyone takes a bite.
This is private dining designed to earn your full attention.
And it does.
Simple by design. Everything else is taken care of.
Tell us about your event — the occasion, the guest count, the date. No commitment yet, just a conversation.
We talk through your preferences, dietary needs, and vision. Then we design a menu built entirely around you.
Sourcing, setup, execution — everything handled. Nothing for you to worry about on the day of.
Your only job is to be present. Show up, sit down, and enjoy what's about to happen.
The ingredient is the first decision. Zen sources locally where possible and globally where it matters — ferments, specialty proteins, rare botanicals, and heritage grains tracked down because the flavor is genuinely different.
Local farms, ranches, and producers — updated seasonally based on what's exceptional right now.
Specialty ingredients sourced from producers across the US and internationally when local isn't enough.
Ferments, garum, infused oils, dehydrated powders, and other preparations developed specifically for each menu.
We'll follow up within 24 hours to talk through the details.
