private dining

a kitchen with a table and a television

We are thrilled to invite you to our private dining room and community kitchen next door to our LANTERN restaurant in downtown Chapel Hill. Our private dining space grew out of Kitchen Patrol and is a reflection of what drew me to cooking in the first place: the opportunity to gather people together, celebrate, and share stories around the table.

    This cozy open-kitchen dining room is where we host visiting friends & chefs, offer cooking classes and get-togethers. The space is available for private events for any occasion, from cocktail parties, to movie screenings, or family reunions. We are equipped with state of the art presentation tools and flexibility to provide total privacy, an interactive evening of cooking from the open kitchen or anything in between.

    Capacity: accommodates up to 45 guests for seated dinner, or 60 for passed hors d'oeuvres.
