Proposal and anniversary hibachi in Sanborn

What a Sanborn proposal or anniversary booking includes

• A private hibachi chef for a small table in Sanborn — 2 to 8 guests.
• Premium proteins available: filet mignon, scallops, lobster tail (market price).
• Hibachi fried rice, vegetables, salad, and the house sauces.
• Cooking timed to your moment, agreed before the date.
• The show at your volume — full performance or quiet service.
• Setup and cleanup, chef out when you want the room back.

Where we can set up proposal & anniversary hibachi in Sanborn

Backyard hibachi is still the most common Sanborn booking — the chef needs roughly an 8 by 8 foot clear area and works fine on grass, patio, deck, or driveway. Rooftops and terraces work as long as there is open air above the grill; we bring our own propane and a fire-safe base.

Sanborn proposal & anniversary hibachi — common questions

Can you do hibachi for just two people in Sanborn?

Yes, and we do it often. The $550 event minimum applies rather than a per-head total, so a table of two in Sanborn pays the minimum plus travel — a flat $50 for the first 50 miles with tolls included, then $1 per mile. Everything else is the same chef and the same grill.

Can the chef help with a proposal?

Yes, if you tell us the plan in advance. We agree the timing before the date: when the chef arrives, when the last plate lands, and whether you want the chef out of frame, holding a camera, or gone entirely. We will not improvise your moment — we will run whatever you scripted.

What are the best proteins for an anniversary dinner?

Filet mignon and scallops are what most Sanborn anniversary tables pick, and lobster tail is available at market price. Every guest chooses two proteins, and the chef cooks each to your preferred temperature at the table rather than in a kitchen.

Can you keep it quiet instead of doing the whole show?

Yes. Full performance is the default because most guests want it, but for Sanborn proposals and anniversaries plenty of tables ask for quiet, precise service instead. Say so when you book and the chef will cook without the loud routines.

Where do you set up for a small dinner?

Anywhere with about an 8 by 8 foot clear area and air above the grill: a Sanborn patio, a deck, a balcony with clearance, an open garage, or indoors under a range hood. Send us a photo of the spot and we will confirm it before the date.
