The Art of Celebration.
From intimate dinner parties to grand events, we bring the heart of a private kitchen to life’s most important celebrations.
Make Every Moment Flavorful.
AR Kitchen combines the precision of fine dining with the warmth of a family gathering to create events that feel personal, seamless, and distinctly yours. Whether it’s a rustic feast, a garden cocktail event, or a multi-course tasting experience, our culinary team brings your vision to life.
Stress-Free Planning
As experts with decades of experience across all aspects of hospitality and event planning, we know there are never two identical events. That’s why we treat every event as a unique expression of the host, attendees, location and season - working together to comprehensively plan every element.
The Conversation: Our dedicated Events team starts every project with a consultation to understand your theme, guest count, desired goals, and budget.
The Proposal: After scoping the concept, we build a custom menu and service plan tailored to your specific needs that can expand to cover everything from venue and entertainment to decor and gifting.
The Details: Meet the chef, and refine the timeline and specifics that will make this uniquely you.
The Event: Our Event Staff will handle setup, service, and breakdown on the big day—employing our signature approach to execution and excellence. You just show up and enjoy!
Service That Fits the Moment.
We can cook anywhere—from your backyard to a rented warehouse—and we are experts in matching the cuisine experience to the goals of the event, from casual to formal, including:
Family Style: Large platters passed across the table. Encourages conversation and connection. Perfect for celebrations and outdoor gatherings.
Plated & Poured: Elegant, synchronized service for formal affairs. Each guest receives a beautifully composed dish.
Stations & Grazing: Interactive food stations (e.g., Raw Bar, Carving Station, Taco Bar) that get guests moving and mingling.
Cocktail Style: A heavy flow of passed hors d'oeuvres and small bites. Ideal for networking or high-energy parties where you don't want a seated meal.
- Kristina M., San Anselmo
“AR Kitchen did an absolutely incredible job catering our school’s annual faire. From the planning process - understanding how to scope for hundreds of people with varying needs - to the day-of experience, it really felt like they knew how important it was to do something special. Most importantly, the food was out of this world!”
