Catering (how it works)

With Fine Dining Solutions catering services you'll receive the personalized treatment and gourmet service that you could only expect in a "fine dining" restaurant. With our extensive experience in some of the best restaurants in the DC metro area (Restaurant Eve, Maestro, Butterfield 9 – just to name a few) your event will play out beautifully, personalized to your tastes – all in the comfort of your own home.

Through a personal assessment/kitchen inspection, we'll learn about your party theme preferences to develop your Fine Dining Solutions Catering Menu Proposal, essentially a personalized "Menu" from which to choose your dishes for your special event. The proposal is based on our initial event discussion and ingredient availability. To get a better idea of the types of dishes that we propose to our clients, please visit our fall, winter, spring or summer menu pages – a yearly highlight of our popular client dishes.

For all of our chef services, we shop at only the best grocery and small market purveyors in the DC metro area – Balducci's, Whole Foods, Mom: My Organic Market, M. Slavin & Son's and a few select small markets. Similar to a farm-to-table relationship, we have cultivated a grocer-to-client relationship. Our relationships with store managers, produce managers and meat managers will help bring you the best ingredients and products that each store carries.

Our services exclusively provide fine dining restaurant quality dishes, completely made from scratch, therefore we only cater to smaller, more intimate gatherings. If you have additional questions or would like to learn more about our catering services, please call (703-869-1242) or email us to discuss your next special event today.
