Tailored Menus
Every event deserves its own flavor. We work with each client to design a menu that reflects their occasion, whether it’s an elegant plated dinner or a relaxed family-style celebration. Every detail is considered, from the first bite to the final presentation.
Seamless Execution
Our team handles setup, service, and timing so you can actually enjoy your event. We manage every element behind the scenes to create a dining experience that feels effortless for you and unforgettable for your guests.
Elevated Comfort
We specialize in creative takes on classic dishes - food that feels familiar but looks and tastes exceptional. Each dish combines warmth, artistry, and flavor to bring people together around the table.
Tastings
Every great menu begins with a taste. Before your event, you can schedule a private tasting to sample select dishes and finalize your choices. Tastings are hosted at your convenience and give you a firsthand look at the flavors, presentation, and quality that define Open Palate.
A tasting fee applies and covers the cost of ingredients and preparation. If you decide to move forward with your booking, that amount is credited toward your final catering invoice.
This isn’t just a preview of your menu. It’s the first step in bringing your event vision to life.
