Chef Dane works to three order minimums, depending on when your event takes place. A quick weekday lunch ordered Monday to Friday between 10am and 2pm has a $500 minimum. Monday to Thursday outside those hours, the minimum is $1,000. From Friday evening through Sunday, the minimum is $1,500. Those are minimums rather than fixed packages, so your final cost depends on the menu, the guest count, and how much on-site service you need. We provide an itemised breakdown of every cost, including any service charge, before you book, and gratuity is always optional.
Yes. We deliver and cater throughout downtown Seattle, as well as South Lake Union, Capitol Hill, Belltown, Pioneer Square, Queen Anne, Eastlake, Ballard, Fremont, the University District, and West Seattle. We also serve the surrounding suburbs, including Bellevue, Redmond, Kirkland, Shoreline, and Edmonds.
For a weekday quick lunch ordered Monday to Friday between 10am and 2pm, the minimum is $500. For corporate events Monday to Thursday outside those hours, the minimum is $1,000. Evening and weekend events from Friday through Sunday carry a $1,500 minimum.
In almost all cases, yes. We maintain a preferred venue list across the greater Puget Sound region, including The Ninety in Pioneer Square, and we regularly cater at venues that are not on that list, along with private residences, rooftops, and outdoor spaces. If your venue has no kitchen, your event coordinator will work with our chef to build a menu that needs no on-site preparation, and our staff will bring all the equipment required for service.
For popular dates, particularly summer Saturdays and the first three weeks of December, book as early as you can. For weddings we recommend at least six months, and we ask for the final menu and guest count two weeks before the day. For corporate lunches and drop-off orders, much shorter notice is usually fine. If your event is soon, call us at 206.794.0812 and we will do our best to accommodate it.
Yes. We cater Seattle weddings with passed hors d'oeuvres for cocktail hour, elegant multi-course dinners, and buffet service, all built around your style and theme. We offer a tasting for up to five people, and the tasting fee is deducted from your final total when you book with us. Our team handles everything from setup to cleanup, and our coordinators can arrange rentals through our local suppliers. We offer a wide range of desserts, though we do not currently make wedding cakes.
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options run across our menus as standard, and we take allergies seriously. Let your event coordinator know in advance and we will build suitable options for every guest.
Yes. Chef Dane offers full bar service including beer, wine, cocktails, and experienced bartenders, and we are happy to create a signature cocktail for your event. For liability reasons we supply all alcoholic beverages, and we do not provide bar staff without the purchase of alcohol. Banquet permits for your venue are your responsibility, though we can help you obtain one for a nominal fee.
