At Home on Orchid Island

Orchid Island sits on the barrier island between the Indian River Lagoon and the Atlantic, built around the Orchid Island Golf & Beach Club and its Arnold Palmer-designed golf course. Life here moves between the course, the beach club, and home — and the best evenings often end at your own dining table rather than out at a restaurant.

A private chef dinner suits that rhythm perfectly. Chef Tony cooks for members and guests across the island: post-tournament dinners, evenings with visiting children and grandchildren, and celebrations in river-to-ocean homes where the setting already does half the work. You bring the people; he brings the menu, the ingredients, and a kitchen left cleaner than he found it.

What a Private Chef Dinner Looks Like Here

The evening starts in your kitchen, where Chef Tony sets up with the day's ingredients and begins cooking to order. Guests gather where they like — drinks by the pool, the first course as the sun drops over the lagoon — and each plate comes out timed to your table, plated inches from where you sit.

Whether it is a four-course dinner for eight after a day of golf or a romantic dinner for two in a beach house, the format is the same: a custom menu, cooked and served in your home, with full cleanup at the end. You host; Chef Tony handles everything behind the scenes.

How Booking a Private Chef in Orchid Island Works

It starts with a conversation. Tell Chef Tony about your evening through the contact form or a call to (321) 525-1302 — he personally responds to every inquiry within 2 hours.

Together you design the menu: the occasion, your guests, favorite cuisines, and any dietary needs all shape a menu built for your table alone — never a fixed package pulled off a shelf.

Chef Tony then handles everything else. He shops for and sources every ingredient, arrives at your home with what the menu needs, cooks each course in your kitchen, serves it at your table, and leaves the kitchen spotless when the evening ends.
