Thank you for the wonderful cooking class with your team of experts. Back in the office, many of us spoke throughout the day about what a great time we had with your team, the fabulous food, the great music, and the fun we had making lunch. Every single person enjoyed it. We’ve shared the photos and the recipes, and now have many fond memories to look back on!

I recently had my mother’s 70th birthday party at Kitchen Table and it was fabulous from the moment I connected with Dawn to begin planning. Chef Melissa was amazing and had everyone engaged the entire time. The food was phenomenal! The owner showed up to assist me with a picture slideshow I made. We loved every second of it and had guests commenting on how great it was for days after. I highly recommend Dawn and everyone at Kitchen Table!

We had a corporate event and it was great. The menu card was a very nice added touch as well as the Prosecco upon arrival. Kitchen Table is probably one of the most spacious venues we have been to for cooking classes in New Jersey. Dawn was a great host, Chef was fun. Overall great experience. Lots of space to walk around and mingle as well.

We had a fabulous time at Kitchen Table for a 50th birthday party. We were greeted with tasty crostini and prosecco and a warm welcome. We donned aprons and began the class; it was so much fun! Learning proper techniques and food combinations led to a delicious meal, the recipes for which we received at the end. The chef made a point of speaking to all guests, sharing tips, and making us feel like pros. I would highly recommend booking an event at Kitchen Table.

*Additional Private Events Details:
Full payment is due by the day of your event. If not received within 24 hours, we’ll charge the card on file for the remaining balance.
A holiday fee applies to events booked on or near major holidays (e.g., Memorial Day weekend, the day after Thanksgiving, New Year's Day or Eve) to cover our team’s holiday pay.
Final guest count is due seven (7) days before your event to allow for food purchasing and staffing. We’re unable to adjust the total after that—any reductions will still be charged at the full per-person rate.
Pricing does not include leftovers. We’re happy to send home anything your guests don’t finish, but we don’t provide extra food for people who aren’t attending the event.
We’re committed to sustainability and to taking good care of our team. Gratuity is never expected, but your support helps us keep great people in the kitchen and around the table.
