Whether you're in Gainesville or one of our other service areas, our private hibachi chef handles the entire experience: cooking, live fire show, and cleanup. Alachua County has a real event calendar but usually less peak-season pressure than Florida's biggest tourist counties — most weekends can be booked within 2 weeks of the date.
