What is a Chef’s Counter Dinner?
A Chef’s Counter dinner is an upscale multi-course meal where guests put their trust into the Chef, who will be preparing a one of a kind dinner revealed upon arrival! Why no menu in advance? Because: #1) we like to surprise our guests, and #2) we want to remove any pre-conceived notions regarding what the dishes will taste like or look like. This is part of the experience and part of the fun.
What we can tell you is that the food will be fantastic. The team at Gravesend will know the menu in advance, so we can notify the Chef of dietary restrictions and answer any questions regarding the dinner.
As these are specialized menus, modifications are politely declined, but please include any serious food allergies in your registration notes.
