PRIVATE DINING EXPERIENCES IN NYC, REIMAGINED BY RESIDENT
Anyone can book a private room at a restaurant. Resident creates private dining experiences where Michelin-trained chefs craft stories through food, making them more personal, intimate, and memorable.
Each event pairs Michelin-trained chefs with one-night-only menus, hosted in extraordinary venues. We tailor every event around incredible food and chef storytelling to give you an unforgettable experience.
Resident goes beyond a templated dinner party. Book a fully personalized event, collaborating with Resident to design your experience. Or, purchase tickets to a pre-curated private dinner to join a small, exclusive gathering.
"It felt elegant, exclusive, and the whole experience was a genuine treat." - Guest, May 2025
CURATED BY CHEFS. CENTERED ON CONNECTION.
At Resident, every event is anchored by Michelin-star chefs who bring the menu to life. Guests are brought into the story of each dish, interacting with the talent behind the table. No two experiences are the same; menus are bespoke, created specially for each night. Resident goes far beyond typical expectations of catering, transforming a meal into a culinary narrative.
“What sets Resident apart is the opportunity for guests to directly engage with our talent. Our head chefs present each dish, sharing the stories and narratives behind every creation.”
- Brian Mommsen (CEO/Founder)
