San Francisco is where André trained. Eleven years at The Ritz-Carlton Dining Room gave him the city's standard of service and a working knowledge of what a private dinner here has to clear to feel considered.
City kitchens are small and city evenings are precise. He plans around both, arriving with what the room needs, working cleanly, and keeping service quiet enough that the conversation never pauses for it.

Questions
Can André cook in a small city kitchen?
Yes. He reviews the kitchen in advance and designs the menu around what the space can actually do. Most San Francisco homes need no additional equipment.
Does he cook business dinners in the city?
Frequently. Board dinners, partner evenings and investor gatherings are a significant part of his San Francisco work, and discretion is part of the engagement.
How many guests can he serve in a private home?
Two to fourteen for a coursed dinner, and up to twenty-four for an executive gathering. Larger receptions are possible where the space allows.
