Chef Jamel's Table

Service Description

Chef Jamel's Table is not a pop-up or a packaged experience. It is a private, multi-course tasting dinner designed entirely around you — your guests, your occasion, your taste. Chef Jamel Harris comes to you. He sets up in your home or venue of choice, develops a seasonal menu rooted in your preferences, sources the ingredients, prepares every course on-site, and serves your table the way he would serve his own guests. When the last course is finished, he leaves your kitchen as he found it. The evening is intimate by design. Six guests minimum. Every detail intentional. — The Experience — Before your table: Chef Jamel connects with you personally to shape the menu. He asks about your dietary needs, the dishes you love, the occasion you're celebrating, and the atmosphere you want to create. Nothing is generic. This conversation is the foundation of your night. At your table: A multi-course tasting dinner — elevated comfort food rooted in Northeast regional cooking with global influence. Seasonal ingredients, intentional plating, and a progression of flavors that tells a story. Chef Jamel is present throughout, guiding the meal with warmth and precision. After your table: Your kitchen is clean. Your guests are full. The kind of evening people talk about long after the plates are cleared. — What's Included — Custom seasonal menu developed around your preferences Ingredient sourcing and shopping On-site preparation and cooking Full multi-course plating and service Kitchen clean-up Chef Jamel's personal presence from start to finish Optional enhancements: wine pairings, cocktail service, additional courses, premium ingredients (lobster, truffle, and others available upon request) — The Chef — Chef Jamel Harris was born in Far Rockaway and shaped in Harlem — where the culture, the community, and the food formed who he became. He trained at The Culinary Academy of New York, apprenticed at Jean-Georges' Mercer Kitchen, and built his early career at One If By Land, Two If By Sea. Cooking became more than a profession during a pivotal four-year chapter that tested him and deepened his relationship with food — a relationship he describes as both an anchor and a redirection. Today, as Chef de Cuisine at one of New York City's most iconic restaurants, he has led his team to Michelin Bib Gourmand recognition for three consecutive years. At Chef Jamel's Table, that experience and that history come home with him. — Who This Is For — Milestone birthdays and anniversary dinners Intimate celebrations with people who matter Client entertainment and executive dining Proposals, reunions, and once-in-a-lifetime occasions Anyone who wants a restaurant-level experience without leaving home — Pricing — Starting at $150 per guest · 6-guest minimum Pricing reflects the full experience: menu development, ingredient sourcing, on-site preparation, multi-course service, and clean-up.
