"Snowbird season anniversary dinner at our Siesta Key home — 14 guests on the waterfront lanai. The chef was extraordinary — refined, entertaining, and the food was genuinely exceptional. Our guests couldn't stop complimenting the whole experience. This has replaced our annual restaurant anniversary dinner permanently."
Private Hibachi Chef in Sarasota — Waterfront Entertaining, Gulf Coast Standard
Sarasota sets a high bar. The arts scene, the waterfront properties, the caliber of entertaining that happens in this community — the experience has to match the setting. Hibachi Connect sends a certified teppanyaki chef to your Sarasota home, your Siesta Key property, or your Longboat Key residence with a full propane grill, premium proteins, and a dining experience that satisfies both the food enthusiast and the showmanship that makes a dinner genuinely memorable.
Snowbird season (October through April) is our busiest window in Sarasota — seasonal residents and their visiting family and friends fill our calendar every winter. Anniversary celebrations on waterfront patios, dinner parties for arts community friends, retirement celebrations at Palmer Ranch estates, corporate events at Lakewood Ranch venues — our Sarasota chefs are experienced with the kinds of occasions this community actually runs. Premium upgrades (filet mignon, lobster tail, scallops) are available for any event.
We serve all of Sarasota and the surrounding Gulf Coast: Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Bird Key, Palmer Ranch, Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Venice, and Englewood. Snowbird season weekend dates fill 3–4 weeks out — book early if your event falls between October and April. Starting at $60 per adult, $600 event minimum.

Check Availability"Winter dinner party at our Lakewood Ranch home — 20 neighbors, covered lanai, gorgeous January evening. The chef had everyone completely captivated. The food was outstanding and the show was legitimately fun. Our community has been talking about it for weeks. We've already got three more dinner parties planned with the same group."
"Retirement celebration for my husband at our Palmer Ranch home — 30 friends and colleagues, pool deck setup, perfect Florida evening. Everything was flawless from setup to cleanup. The chef made my husband feel like the star of the night all the way through. I have no idea why we ever went to a restaurant for an event like this."
