Booking in three steps

  1. 01

    Settle the guest list first

    Prices are per guest and usually fall as the table grows, so fix the headcount first and compare chefs after.

  2. 02

    Book in good time

    LA birthday dinners were booked 14 days out at the median, with the earliest quarter 27 days or more out.

  3. 03

    Bringing a cake?

    Mention the cake when you book, so dessert can be lighter or dropped. For a surprise party, ask that every message goes to you, not the guest of honor.
