Private chef, wedding catering, and event dining in Kona and on the Big Island by Chef Justin Gambling

Most people make a dinner reservation and call it a night.

Some call Justin.


You pick the date and the guest count. Justin handles the menu, the setup, the service, and the cleanup. Whether it's a private dinner at your rental or a wedding weekend on the Kohala Coast, the food is local, the courses are custom, and the evening is yours.

EVENTS & CATERING

.

Fresh, local, and made for the moment.

Every menu starts with a conversation. Chef Justin Gambling asks about the group, the occasion, and what you're in the mood for, then builds a custom private dining experience around what's fresh in Kona and across the Big Island, shaped by flavors rooted in Hawaiian and Asian cooking.


Ingredients are sourced locally, the courses match the tone of the evening, and the experience feels personal, whether it’s an intimate dinner for two, wedding catering, or event catering for a larger celebration with a full buffet and bar.
