A Private Chef in Scottsdale for Every Kind of Gathering
Some nights call for more than a reservation. Ansley Table brings the restaurant to your home anywhere in Scottsdale and the greater Phoenix area: a private chef, a custom menu, and a team that handles everything from the first course to the last dish in the sink. You never lift a finger.
Chef Mat Meyer has spent 20 years in professional kitchens. For the past several years he has cooked exclusively in private homes, vacation rentals and event venues across the Valley, earning a 5.0 star rating on Google and Airbnb one dinner at a time.
What a Night with Ansley Table Looks Like
It starts with a conversation about your event, your guests and the food you love. From there Mat builds a custom menu around the season, your preferences and any dietary needs. On the night itself, he and his team arrive with everything: ingredients, equipment, tableware and a plan. Courses come out hot and finished by hand. When the evening ends, the kitchen is clean and you are still at the table with your guests.
