Welcome to Your Table
The Pantry Table is an intimate private dining experience rooted in thoughtful cooking, seasonal artistry, and the quiet elegance of a chef-led kitchen. Based in Orange County, California, we bring a level of refinement that transcends the traditional restaurant setting—offering curated tasting menus and bespoke culinary moments designed for those who seek something truly personal yet professional.
Imagine a chef’s table that isn’t bound by walls. A dining experience that unfolds warmly in the chef’s own kitchen—or travels to yours. From the comfort of your home to a coastal terrace at sunset, or a beautifully lit garden gathering, The Pantry Table allows you to celebrate freely, without sacrificing the precision, technique, or beauty of a Michelin-inspired plate.
Since our beginning, The Pantry Table has become synonymous with sincerity, craftsmanship, and unforgettable hospitality. Led by Chef Claire, with two decades of culinary experience spanning global kitchens, our approach is guided by one philosophy:
to cook with intention, host with warmth, and create moments that feel both luxurious and deeply human.
Whether you join us at our chef’s residence or invite us to bring the experience to you, The Pantry Table transforms dining into something memorable—crafted for the season, shaped by your story, and shared around a beautifully set table.
