Proposal & anniversary hibachi dinners

Why a proposal at home beats a restaurant

In a restaurant you are working around a reservation, a server you have to brief in a whisper, and strangers three feet away. With a private hibachi chef at home you own the room. We arrive discreetly, set up where you tell us, and cook to a timeline you set — including the exact moment you want the grill to go quiet. Several of our chefs have staged the flame for the ring reveal. Tell us the plan and we will rehearse the cue with you before guests arrive.

What an anniversary hibachi dinner includes

The private hibachi chef, the grill and propane, all cooking, the knife and fire show, and clean-up. Plates come with hibachi fried rice, seasoned vegetables, salad and our signature sauces plus two proteins each. For a romantic hibachi dinner at home most couples upgrade to filet mignon with shrimp or scallops, and lobster tail is available on request. Bring your own wine — we do not handle alcohol, which keeps the evening entirely yours.

Pricing for a two-person hibachi dinner

The honest version: there is a $550 event minimum, and it applies to a table of two just as it does to twenty. Adults are $55 each, so a couple pays the minimum, not $110 — you are buying a chef’s evening, the equipment and the travel, not a headcount. Travel is a flat $50 for the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile. Many couples invite six or eight people once they know the minimum is the same, and turn the proposal into the surprise at the end of dinner.

Staging the moment with your chef

Send us the plan when you book: where you want the grill, where she will be standing, and what the signal is. The chef can hold the fire show until your cue, quiet the grill for the question, or bring the last plate out with something on it. Photographers hidden in the garage, a sibling filming from a window, a dog that must be let out at exactly the wrong time — we have worked around all of it. In-home hibachi is flexible in a way a restaurant proposal simply is not.
