Hidden Gem of the Keys

Private Chef in Summerland Key

Waterfront dining in your own backyard — a quiet, private alternative to Key West, just minutes away.

Summerland Key sits quietly at Mile Marker 24-26, tucked between the nature preserve of Big Pine Key and the energy of Key West. It's residential, unhurried, and lined with waterfront homes that look out over some of the most stunning sunsets in the Florida Keys. There are no tourist crowds here, no chain restaurants — just crystal-clear water, fishing from your backyard dock, and the kind of peace you came to the Keys to find.

That's exactly why a private chef makes so much sense here. We bring the full dining experience to your Summerland Key rental or home — fresh local seafood, custom menus, restaurant-quality plating — and leave your kitchen spotless when we're done.

We watched the sunset from our dock, walked inside, and a gorgeous dinner was ready. It felt like our own private restaurant on the water.
